The official website of the team published 48 photos on Friday morning that showed a collection of photos from the series of all time.
Despite leading the 49ers to victories against the Packers in the playoffs in 2013 and 2014, including his NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game by a quarterback (181) in the Round of the divisional division of 2013, Kaepernick's picture was nowhere to be found. he found.

Apart from the two postseason victories, Kaepernick also threw for 412 yards in a 34-28 victory in Week 1 of the 2013 regular season. As the San Francisco starter, Kaepernick had a 4-1 record against the Packers and represented a total of eight touchdowns.
Since the gallery was criticized for its omission of Kaepernick, the website has added photos of Kaepernick to commemorate his contributions in the rivalry. The website also added a photo that had been left out of catcher Terrell Owens, who achieved a 25-yard winning catch of a playoff game in 1999 against Green Bay.
In the seven series galleries of all time, the 49ers compiled last season on other teams: the Titans, the Cardinals, the Rams, the Redskins, the Bears, the Giants and the Texans, Kaepernick was included. The Packers Gallery before the Game of Week 6 of this year is the first gallery that the website has done this season.
Kaepernick remains unsigned because he is involved in an ongoing collusion complaint in which he claims that NFL property has denied him employment because of his public position on social issues. Kaepernick played for the last time in the NFL in 2016 for the 49ers, the year he began to protest against police brutality and social inequality by sitting first and then kneeling during the execution of the national anthem before the game.
In September 2016, the 49ers matched a $ 1 million donation made by Kaepernick to two local charities for "the cause of improving racial and economic inequality."
