Kaepernick is on the right, kneeling in his 49ers uniform, with his arms folded and resting on his proper left knee. To the left of him Eric Reid kneels in the same pose, wearing a black 49ers sweatshirt and shorts, his proper left wrist taped and holding a Gatorade bottle in his proper right hand. Free agent Nate Boyer stands to the right of Kaepernick, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, his hand over his heart. Other players and 49ers staff stand around them in various poses, including Kelvin Taylor (number 23), Jaquiski Tartt (number 29), and Rashard Robinson (number 33).
