It is hard to imagine a world where the GOAT Tom Brady would have a tied record with another player. But, to the surprise of many, it is true. The 7x Super Bowl champion is tied with the former 49ers QB, Colin Kaepernick in one thing. Of course, Kaepernick is not a part of the league now, but his performances were not short of spectacular.

Keeping their on-field rivalry aside, TB12 has always admired Colin Kaepernick. Brady said, “I’ve always watched him and admired him, the way that he’s played he was a great young quarterback. He came to our stadium and beat us and took his team to the Super Bowl. He accomplished a lot in the pros as a player. And he’s certainly qualified, and I hope he gets a shot.”

Going head-to-head, Brady is 2-1 in his career against the 49ers, while he was the QB for the New England Patriots. The most memorable game was in 2012 when Brady’s team lost 41-34 to Colin Kaepernick’s 49ers.

The list includes other legendary quarterbacks for their respective franchises. However, this tied record will need some work to break if Kaepernick returns to the NFL, which seems unlikely at this point.
