Black was signed by the
Black was named the fourth safety on the depth chart to begin the regular season. 2020 seventh-round pick Vernon Scott missed much of the season with injuries, and as a result, Black saw regular action as the Packers' dime safety. He recorded his first NFL interception on October 28, 2021, during a Week 8 win against the Arizona Cardinals, off a pass thrown by Kyler Murray.[11] The Packers did not pick up Black's exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) tender, which would have given him a 1-year, $645,000 contract to stay with the team, making him a free agent for the 2022 season.[12]
