Colin Kaepernick had the second-fastest 40-yard dash time among quarterbacks on Sunday, but still rated his performance as 'average' on Twitter.

Only Tyrod Taylor's time of 4.51 eclipsed Kaepernick's run of 4.53. The former Wolf Pack quarterback's time was .06 faster than fellow quarterbacks Jake Locker and Cam Newton.

Kaepernick also tweeted that he had the fastest pass among quarterbacks at 59 miles per hour.

The Co-WAC Offensive Player of the Year had strong finishes in several other categories.: three-cone drill (6.85, tied seventh); 20-yard shuttle (4.18, tied eighth); verticle jump (32.5, tied ninth); broad jump (9.7, tenth).

Former teammate Vai Taua struggled in the 40-yard dash, running a 4.62 and failing to qualify in the top 15 among running backs.

Taua's best numbers came in the three-cone drill (seventh); the 20-yard shuttle (tied eighth) and 60-yard shuttle (eighth).

Former Wolf Pack defensive end Dontay Moch will run through his drills on Monday on the NFL Network.
