Kaepernick was selected in the 2011 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round with the 36th overall pick. He began his pro career as the 49ers’ backup to starter Alex Smith. When Smith was injured, Kaepernick filled in for him in the middle of the 2012 season, and became the full-time starter as the 49ers advanced to the NFL playoffs for the second straight season, where Kaepernick went on to set an NFL record for most rushing yards (181) by a quarterback in a game (playoffs or regular season) in his first playoff game. After beating the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship 28-24, he led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1994.
