Colin Kaepernick

For Throwback Thursday, Colin Kaepernick posted two photos to his Instagram.

The first doesn’t even really count as a throwback but it does serve as a good reminder that Colin Kaepernick has a good amount of ink (Seriously, I’m not sure why Colin felt the need to use the #TBT. It’s not like the dude is hurting for likes or followers).

What if no one ever told you that you could fail? #tbt #IDontGetTired #7tormsComing #TTT

However, the black and white photo does serve as a good reminder of how much Colin Kaepernick has grown up. The 49ers quarterback also posted a proper Throwback Thursday photograph from his childhood that is utterly adorable.

It’s hard to pick out what’s best about this photograph. There’s the tiny bench. There’s Colin’s pose which he seemingly copied from an old man watching ducks at a local park. However, the best thing about this photo probably has to be that sweater.

I need that sweater in my life. Now.
