Colin Kaepernick

“Jim Tomsula is going to be great coach for us. Players' coach. Always around the guys. Someone that's willing to listen to what the players say and has their intake.”

“It was just something - I didn't agree with what the flag was representing at this time, and you know, if you look at the original picture where people addressed it, I was trying to sit behi...”

“As far as jeans and shirts, I rock a lot of different things.”

“I don't play for job security.”

“At the end of the day, you have to look at, 'Are they knowledgeable? Are they doing their job?' Not what their appearance is.”

“Mental health, for me, is doing everything I can to help this team win. Sitting around not doing anything isn't something I've been too big on since I was young.”

“I'll always be a fan of coach Harbaugh. Not too sure about Michigan.”

“You have to be able to do everything as a quarterback, and that's not necessarily taking care of your job but making sure you're preparing everyone else to go out and play well. And make sur...”

“I don't want people to think you have to look a certain way or be a certain mold to be able to be a quarterback.”

“I'm here to play football.”

“I haven't seen a quarterback play a perfect game yet.”

“I'm not your typical quarterback. I don't like when people say, 'Quarterbacks aren't supposed to run,' or, 'Quarterbacks aren't supposed to work out a certain way.'”

“Quarterbacks can still have good bodies. I'm always conscious of the stereotype. I want to change what people think. There's a lot more to it than what you see on the field.”

“There are a lot of details to running that I never even thought about. I just went out and ran. I think I can be faster. I think I can be quicker.”

“I do want to be a representative of the African community, and I want to hold myself and dress myself in a way that reflects that. I want black kids to see me and think, 'Okay, he's carrying...”

“I trained with a few Olympic runners and jumpers. Just to try to get a little bit faster, a little bit better. Anything I could do to try to get a little bit better and stay ahead of the com...”

“I wouldn't say there is one specific designer I rock. It's more of the look of the shirt and what occasion and where I'm wearing it to.”
