SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Colin Kaepernick found his quarterback guru to guide him through some adjustments to his game.
Kaepernick is headed to the Arizona desert to work with Kurt Warner this offseason.
The San Francisco quarterback will begin his training and study with Warner - a 12-year NFL QB with Arizona, St. Louis and the New York Giants - and quarterbacks coaches Dennis Gile and Mike Giovando on Monday in Phoenix. Gile said Wednesday they have developed a program for much of the next 12 weeks until Kaepernick rejoins the 49ers in early April.
While Kaepernick will maintain his regular weight training and running routine, this will be different as he has never had a true quarterback coach. They will focus on film study, chalk talk sessions and drills such as 7-on-7, Gile said. NFL wide receivers and some college players preparing for the draft are expected to take part.
''He just said he's still going to train and do his weight room and running stuff because that's part of his game that's pretty much unstoppable when he does it, but he wants to do something a little different,'' Gile said. ''From what he's told us, he's never really had a quarterback coach. We just want to provide Colin with the tools that we have to try to help him out in any certain way to make him more consistent and more efficient.''
