The Facts:
Kaepernick did not take much of a break after the 49ers' Super Bowl loss before getting back to work for the 2013 season. Almost immediately after the conclusion of the season, Kaepernick reported to CES Performance in Atlanta to begin his offseason workout regimen. While any athlete hits the weight room with the goal of becoming bigger, faster, stronger, HC Jim Harbaugh said he has spoken with Kaepernick about becoming too big and too strong. (There's no such thing, obviously, as too fast.)

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
At the recently completed NFL owners meetings, Harbaugh was asked if there was a fear that Kaepernick, who is seemingly already plenty strong in the upper body, could spend too much time in the weight room for his own good. "If you're just talking about weightlifting and upper-body strength, yes, I think there is that fear," Harbaugh said. "It's something we've talked about. 'I don't want you getting too jacked-up, Colin.' I want some speed, quickness, not just (flexing chest his muscles). ..." As CSNBayArea.com's Matt Maiocco notes, Kaepernick's arm certainly does not need to get any stronger. His throws the ball with plenty of velocity, to be sure. He dislocated Randy Moss' finger with one pass last season. And during Super Bowl week, 49ers teammate Michael Crabtree said some receivers would rather catch warmup passes from the other QBs. ... Sounds like something that isn't going to change.
