Nevada football: Top 10 Wolf Pack players of all time
2. Colin Kaepernick, QB听
The only quarterback to appear on this list is probably the most famous Wolf Pack alum of all time. One of the best college players ever, Kaepernick is the only player with 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards in college. The two-time Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Offensive Player of the Year was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft and is one of three Wolf Pack alums to start an NFL game at quarterback. Kaepernick became the 49ers鈥� starter in the middle of the 2012 season after Alex Smith suffered a concussion and led the team to its first Super Bowl appearance since 1994. He then helped the 49ers reach the NFC championship game the next year in his first full season as a starter. Kaepernick remains unsigned after kneeling during the national anthem prior to a game in 2016 but holds a pair of NFL records: the most rushing yards by a QB in a game (181) and the most rushing yards by a QB in a postseason (264).听
49ers-Packers meeting in the playoffs is a good excuse to remind everyone that Colin Kaepernick was an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE and should still be playing in the NFL.
Look at some of these throws. Sure doesn鈥檛 look like a 1-read QB
