At various points last year, Colin Kaepernick barely resembled the quarterback who was so electrifying and dynamic in 2013. As Kaepernick showed signs of regressing, the Niners pass offense sputtered. The ensuing criticism towards Colin Kaepernick came from many directions. Much of it was warranted.
With a disappointing 2014 season behind him, Colin Kaepernick is looking forward to putting together a much better campaign this year. On Wednesday, the Niners quarterback posted on his Twitter account how he spent part of his day, which was responded to by a gentleman who probably didn’t expect what he received in return a short time later.
1000 abs…. arm workout….. 10 min straight on the jump rope…. 2 hour study session in February….. that's what we call a recovery day!

Perhaps not surprisingly, the man has not yet responded.
While some athletes may not dive into their mentions to see what’s there, we know that isn’t the case with Kaepernick. He has been known to favorite negative tweets aimed at him.
Kaepernick’s response was met with mixed reviews. Some did not like him acknowledging the troll with a response. Others enjoyed Kaepernick lashing out. Among those to give him a pat on the back was Erin Andrews, who has had to deal with her share of internet trolls over the years.
@Kaepernick7 good for u
