49ers’ Kaepernick to train with Warner

Published

on

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will train with retired two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner this offseason.

The Sacramento Bee reported Kaepernick wants to study with Warner and quarterbacks coach Dennis Gile on film, board work, drills and mental aspects of the game at EXOS in Phoenix, which is where numerous college players prepare for the draft.

“If we can teach him (consistency and efficiency], then I think he becomes one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the NFL,” Gile, who played in the NFL, Canadian Football League and Arena League, told the newspaper. “Because you can’t teach the natural talents that he has.”

Kaepernick, 27, is scheduled to arrive in Phoenix next week and will train at EXOS until the 49ers’ offseason program begins in March.

Warner, 43, is a four-time Pro Bowl selection and MVP of the 2000 Super Bowl with St. Louis. He retired after the 2009 season.

Three of Kaepernick’s teammates — receivers Quinton Patton and Bruce Ellington, and fullback Bruce Miller — also are expected to train at EXOS, along with New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The 49ers’ offense struggled to find consistency this season and Kaepernick’s mechanics came under scrutiny.

Kaepernick saw his passer rating dip to 86.4 for the 49ers, who missed the playoffs and will have a new coach next season after Jim Harbaugh left for Michigan.

Kaepernick passed for a career-high 3,369 yards, but his total quarterback rating dropped to 55.9 and ranked 17th in the NFL this season. He ranked sixth in 2013 with a 68.6 QBR. He had 19 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions this season.
