The Richard Sherman Podcast

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Kaelon Black joins Richard Sherman to discuss his path from James Madison and Indiana to the NFL, including winning a national championship and being selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Kaelon breaks down what he has learned from Christian McCaffrey, shares what it was like to huddle with Brock Purdy, and discusses meeting Trent Williams and Fred Warner. He also explains why Kyle Shanahan’s attention to detail has stood out since he arrived in San Francisco. Black also reflects on his first NFL game in Australia, the transition from college football to the 49ers offense, his rookie-year mindset, and his goal of helping San Francisco compete for a Super Bowl. After opening the season as McCaffrey’s primary backup, Black led the 49ers with 14 carries for 65 yards in the Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne.

Richard Sherman and Mitchell react to the San Francisco 49ers’ dominant 27–7 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. The 49ers answered major questions in Week 1. Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw returned and changed San Francisco’s defense, while the secondary—including Renardo Green, Deommodore Lenoir, Jack Jones, Ji’Ayir Brown, and Siga—made life difficult for Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ loaded offense. Brock Purdy looked sharp, protected the football, used his legs when needed, and operated Kyle Shanahan’s offense confidently. Richard breaks down Purdy’s improved footwork, the offensive line's zero sacks, Mike Evans’ impact as a third-down weapon, Deebo Samuel’s return, and rookie RB Kaelon Black’s emergence behind Christian McCaffrey. Sherman explains why the Rams’ star-studded roster shouldn’t have been crowned before Week 1—and why travel, jet lag, scheme fit, and execution mattered in a lopsided Niners win.
