Pacino gave permission for Kaepernick's role in Madden ad

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Colin Kaepernick was not familiar with the 1992 movie “Scent of a Woman” before being cast in the role of Al Pacino in a Madden NFL 16 five-minute movie that was released last week.

“I actually got to watch a lot of it before I got to do the part,” Kaepernick said. “The highlight for me is they told me when I got to do the part, that they called Al Pacino and had to get his approval for it. I thought that was a great honor to have him OK it.
