In case he forgot, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was reminded that he is not Russell Wilson.
Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews shouted the reminder to Kaepernick during Sunday’s game in front of the San Francisco crowd.
“You ain’t Russell Wilson, bro,” Matthews told Kaepernick after the quarterback attempted to run the ball on First and 10.

Matthews was most likely referring to the level Kaepernick is playing at, compared to Wilson. The Niners are struggling with a 1-3 record, after the game against Green Bay. Kaepernick has five interceptions and three fumbles already this season.
There might be some animosity towards the 49ers as well. NFL.com points out that Kaepernick was able to rush for 181 yards and throw for 263 yards during the 2012 divisional round of the playoffs. He opened the 2013 season against the Packers in a similar way.
