There seems to be some pretty bad blood between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, especially after their epic and intense NFC Championship game. Richard Sherman has dominated the conversation, but he’s not the only person still reacting to the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl.

Colin Kaepernick is no stranger to the Super Bowl, having come within a fingertip of winning one himself last year. Despite the bad blood between the Seahawks and Niners, Kaepernick isn’t harboring ill-will towards Russell Wilson and is even rooting for him to win the Super Bowl this year.

Kaepernick likely knows that his window isn’t closed to win a Super Bowl, so he can’t be that upset about missing out this year and his comment seem to back up the fact that the Niners’ quarterback seems to be a genuinely nice guy off the field.

His wishing his rival luck in the Super Bowl is the latest example of that.
