Kolar is a key option in McDaniel's multi-read system during training camp.

Tight end Charlie Kolar caught a 7-on-7 touchdown during training camp when Herbert had multiple target options in his view simultaneously, including McConkey running an outbreaking route. McDaniel emphasized that Kolar's ability to be one of several options allows Herbert to see the defense and throw two different routes in the same timing, keeping him from getting hit while creating matchup opportunities for all personnel.
