Truth be told, I was looking for anybody's combine participation. I dug around for Alex Smith's, but once news of Colin Kaepernick's trade requests hit, I knew we had to change the subject to the 49ers superstar.
Kap already made a name for himself in the college ranks before entering the combine. He had over 9,000 yards passing and 4,000 yards rushing at the University of Nevada, plus he stonewalled Boise State's Cinderella championship run during the 2010 season. Back then, it was a darker time. It was the day of the automatic qualifiers and the Broncos, after winning the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, were the golden child of the non-automatic qualifying schools for several years, including Kap's final 2010 season (if you're unfamiliar with this, I'd break the servers down explaining the BCS's hypocritical ridiculousness).
