we're definitely trying to get him involved, definitely trying to get him some of those reps whether it's choice routes, option routes, things out of the backfield that we ask our backs to do consistently. That's a big part of his development, for sure, and getting the comfort and timing with the quarterback.

Black's development hinges on expanding pass-game role with timing work.

Kubiak outlined Black's next developmental step: expanded passing-game role. During OTAs and early training camp, Black was active as a wide receiver with 49ers isolating him against linebackers to exploit his speed. Kubiak emphasized getting Black reps on "choice routes, option routes, things out of the backfield that we ask our backs to do consistently" and building "comfort and timing with the quarterback." Kubiak noted Black has "done a nice job" in recent practices but needs "more reps, more growth" to fully develop pass-game skills.
