Colin Rand Kaepernick (/ˈkæpərnɪk/ KAP-er-nick; born November 3, 1987) is a professional American football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played collegiate football at the University of Nevada where he twice was named the Western Athletic Offensive Player of the Year and the Most Valuable Player of the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl. Kaepernick was selected by the 49ers in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
Beginning his professional career as a backup to Alex Smith, Kaepernick became the 49ers' starter in the middle of the 2012 season after Smith suffered a concussion. He remained the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season and went on to lead the 49ers to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1994 before losing to the Baltimore Ravens. The next season, in his first full season as a starter, Kaepernick helped the 49ers reach the NFC Championship before the team lost to the Seattle Seahawks. In the following seasons, Kaepernick lost and won back his starting quarterback job as the 49ers missed the playoffs for three years consecutively.
