"Even if I am surrounded by an army, my heart will not fear; Even if a war breaks out against me, I will not lose confidence, "says Psalm 27: 3, which he has tattooed on his left arm, the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, Colin Kaepernick .

His tattoos, according to the player's statements, are only part of his personal history, full of won matches, which today he has in the Super Bowl XLVII contest along with the San Francisco 49ers , after the long absence since the last championship played in 1994.
 

Colin Kaepernick He was born on November 3, 1987 in Milwaukee, son of Heidi Russo, who at the age of 19, decided to turn him over to an adoption agency because he did not have the resources to support him.

Five weeks after his birth, Colin was adopted by Rick and Teresa Kaepernick, with whom he has shared all his achievements, regardless of whether they are his biological parents.

When the boy turned six, he wrote a letter saying that when he grew up he would be the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers (his parents' favorite team) or the San Francisco 49ers , which in the end would achieve "against all odds", as the tattoo on his chest says, "Against all odds."

His career since high school was outstanding in three sports, basketball, baseball and football, but it would be the latter that would open the doors with a sports scholarship at the University of Nevada. From then on, their triumphs began, until today in San Francisco 49ers .

He is the only quarterback in the history of Division I of the NCAA to throw more than 10 thousand yards and run for more than 4 thousand. San Francisco 49ers they chose him with the selection 36 of the Draft 2011, according to varguardia.com.mx

After Alex Smith, the team's starting quarterback, suffered a commotion in the middle of the 2012 season, he received a vote of confidence from coach Jim Harbaugh to command the San Francisco 49ers and take it to the Super Bowl XLVII to be held this Sunday, February 3, 2013.

As part of his tattoos, on the right forearm is inscribed Psalm 18:39, "You girded me with strength for battle, you bowed before me to my aggressors"; which, according to the field marshal, reflects that "Nobody is going to tell me if I will be successful or not, that will be something that I will determine with how hard I work".
