As a starting pitcher for John H. Pittman High School in Turlock, California, Kaepernick's fastball was clocked at 92 MPH. In his senior year, he threw two no-nos.

In the fifth game of the Nevada Wolf Pack's 2007 season, starting quarterback Nick Graziano was lost to injury at the 8:23 mark of the second quarter. The team turned to Kaepernick, who stepped in and threw for 384 yards, four TDs and added another 60 yards on the ground, but the Wolf Pack lost 49-41.

Bang.

Kaepernick is the only quarterback in Division I FBS history to amass 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards in a collegiate career. He's also the only player in history to gain 2,000 yards in the air and 1,000 yards on the ground in three consecutive seasons.

Last offseason, Kaepernick joined some impressive company when he signed his mega deal. The $61M in guaranteed money thrust him into pole position on the list of highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL. Yet, he's thrown for 300 yards only thrice in his career, which is less -- nay, far less -- than the top seven quarterbacks on that list.
