The way that he runs his routes, how efficient he is... When I watch him at practice, he has no wasted movement... It really maximizes what a running back can truly do. A lot of times running backs aren't asked to catch the ball a lot out of the backfield. But here, it's the complete opposite.

Black learning from McCaffrey's efficiency; 49ers system maximizes RB receiving role.

Rookie RB Kaelon Black is learning from Christian McCaffrey's practice habits, specifically McCaffrey's efficient route-running and minimal wasted movement. Black views the 49ers' offensive system as a perfect fit because it maximizes what a running back can do by asking them to catch the ball frequently out of the backfield and run different routes, making them feel like receivers first—a departure from traditional RB usage.
