SAN FRANCISCO –- It is uncertain where quarterback Colin Kaepernick will play next season, but his former coach is sure that he will be productive wherever he ends up.
“He’ll flourish,” former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday morning during an appearance at Moscone Center leading up to Super Bowl 50. “He’s a great talent and one of the ultimate competitors, so he’ll flourish.”
Harbaugh was responsible for trading up in the second round to select Kaepernick in the 2011 draft. Then, Harbaugh made the bold move in the middle of the 2012 season to bench starter Alex Smith in favor of Kaepernick.
