Kaepernick, Colin Nevada 6045 225 4.53
Four-year starter who has been productive with his arm and legs
over his career. Impressive mobility and deep ball accuracy. A
good athlete who can make all the NFL throws. Has a good
pocket presence to move and slide away from pressure. He ran
the Pistol offense that was developed by his head coach, Chris
Ault. The quarterback is closer to the line of scrimmage (4 yds)
than a true shotgun formation (6-7 yds). The running back lines
up 3 yards behind the quarterback. This formation was developed
to add power and an option running game to the spread offense.
The Steelers used some Pistol concepts with Ben Roethlisberger
in 2010 after Ben broke his foot. Kansas City, Miami, and
Detroit also dabbled with the Pistol offense. Kaepernick is a
hard working self-motivated athlete who will work in and off
season to develop into an NFL quarterback. Throws ¾ arm with
a long motion. Good accuracy short, medium, and long. Extends
the play to let the play develop. Can gun the 10-yard out from the
opposite hash mark. Productive in his career with over 10,000
yards passing and over 4000 yards rushing. In 2010 he had 20
passing TDs and 20 rushing TDs. Outstanding competitor who is a
long strider. Stands tall in the pocket. Makes up for his long delivery
with ball velocity and quickness. A game changing dynamic
performer who is an ascending player. Ball velocity 59 mph.
