CollegeFootballGeek.com's Todd DeVries has been a fan of Colin Kaepernick since he won the Nevada quarterback job from Nick Graziano way back in 2007. Kaepernick went on to have an epic career at Nevada, becoming one of the most prolific quarterbacks in college fantasy football history.Now that he has surprisingly led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl, we thought it would be interesting to revisit an interview Todd conducted with Colin during the summer of 2009, after his stellar sophomore seasonHe discusses being a life-long Packers, his potential baseball career, and battling Matthew Stafford and Josh Freeman in high school QB camps.Below is the transcript of the interview:*****Todd DeVries (CollegeFootballGeek.com): Colin, did you have a childhood football hero? Do you model your game after anyone in particular?Colin Kaepernick: My childhood hero would have to be Brett Favre. I love the way he plays the game. I try to model my game after Vince Young, but at the sa...

The Falcons just can't seem to get any respect. Despite finishing the regular season 13-3, most people think the Falcons aren't as good as their record indicates. Count me in as one of those people.
Teams will eventually figure out Colin Kaepernick and the dynamic weapon that he is for the 49ers offense, but it might...

After years of being spoiled in the Super Bowl by guys like Brady, Manning, Manning, Brees, Rodgers and Roethlisberger, we're left with a matchup between Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick. Both are young and have superb skill sets, but neither is a household name to your average...

1. The Falcons may have been overly concerned about Kaepernick.
The Falcons went into the NFC title game knowing they had to at least contain Colin Kaepernick. They did that – it’s just too bad that they didn’t defend anyone else in the process. The Falcons were so concerned about Kaepernick beating them with his legs that they lost sight of the fact he...

After a 46-24 regular season record in five seasons, the Falcons finally got their first playoff victory in the Mike Smith era last weekend against the Seahawks. One could surmise Atlanta now has the proverbial “playoff monkey” off its back and should have less pressure moving forward.

All’s well that ends well for 49ers
A team has success by handling tough times and coming out as victors.
The 49ers demonstrated that yesterday afternoon when they faced a tough challenge in the Falcons for the right to go to the Super Bowl.
After falling behind in the first half, the 49ers responded by playing well in the second half. It was good enough to earn a 28-24 victory over the Falcons in the AFC Championship...
