Colin Kaepernick’s longtime girlfriend Nessa Diab has called the NFL out with claims of her partner being blackballed by the league.
With Kap’s former team, the San Francisco 49ers set to return to the Super Bowl, ESPN has shared a graphic of the top four QBRs heading into the big game since 2006, showing him at the top.
Diab posted the graphic to her Instagram story with the following caption: “The only time I’ll post anything football related,” Nessa wrote. “To remind you @Kaepernick7 is still blackballed. Still holds records. I know the revisionist historians like to erase his accomplishments but you can’t.”
No NFL quarterback has registered a higher QBR going into the Super Bowl than Kaepernick. He posted a 91.2 QBR with San Francisco in 2012. As you can see in the photo above, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes has a 90.2 QBR entering the upcoming Super Bowl.
Kaepernick passed for 798 yards and rushed for 264 yards in his first playoff campaign, adding seven total touchdowns. He set an NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game by a QB in the Divisional Round.
The 36-year-old last played in the NFL in 2016. He remains keen on a return, but it doesn’t appear that will happen.
