49ers signed second round pick rookie quarterbackColin Kaepernick to a four-year contract. Kaepernick is expected to be cleared for training camp after missing offseason practices following a minor lower leg procedure. Highly athletic with a cannon arm, Kaepernick may have an early-season role similar to Tim Tebow's last year as a situational running threat. He's officially competing for the starting job, but Alex Smith is the heavy favorite for opening day. Source: Matt Maiocco: Twitter.com
Hes a beast, just needs to learn the offense. This is why I like Alex Smith. He'll gladly teach him the wco and when its time to step aside he will.
