ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
It was a scene that would have been easy to imagine at one point this offseason: Colin Kaepernick signing autographs for a gaggle of adoring Broncos fans.
It happened Wednesday afternoon after Broncos practice, but with Kaepernick wearing a 49ers jersey.
The fans didn't seem to mind. They screamed his name and strained against a waist-high yellow rope to hand him something -- a ball, a hat a jersey, a forearm -- to sign. He happily obliged. The 49ers quarterback was the last player to leave the field and was still scribbling his name when teammates were boarding buses to go back to the team hotel.
