Hall of Fame QB John Elway: I've Always Liked Colin Kaepernick

If there’s a man who knows a thing or two about good quarterback play, it’s John Elway.

The Denver Broncos general manager and executive vice president of football operations met with the media on Thursday following the final joint practice between the Broncos and San Francisco 49ers.

Among the number of topics the Hall-of-Fame quarterback covered was 49ers signal-caller Colin Kaepernick. The man with 51,475 career passing yards and 333 total touchdowns had many complimentary things to say about San Francisco’s fifth-year quarterback after watching him for the past two days.

“I’ve always liked Colin,” said Elway, who went to nine Pro Bowls and won two Super Bowls as a player with the Broncos.
