Vernon Davis figures to be more involved in the San Francisco 49ers' offense in 2015.

"Whenever I'd run, like, my deep over routes, there was a safety sitting over there already," Davis said. "It was just game planning. And nothing really ever opened up. But I wasn't really ever a factor in the offense last year. ... The first game, yeah. But the second game, the tight ends (weren't) really involved as a whole."

San Francisco's new offensive coordinator is Geep Chryst, who had served as the team's quarterbacks coach for the last four seasons under Jim Harbaugh. Chryst has a history as a tight ends coach.
