Tebowing it ain't, but "Kaepernicking" became a legitimate Internet thing this past football season thanks to a breakout NFL star.
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick surged to household-name status in leading San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII in February, scoring five rushing touchdowns during his late-season onslaught. His signature post-score celebration became a kiss planted on his right bicep.
Fans soon dubbed the move "Kaepernicking," and posted photos of themselves imitating the star QB to social media sites. It only kind of caught on, but Kaepernick recently nabbed his highest-profile Kaepernicker yet.
Who? None other than first lady Michelle Obama. Check out this pretty awesome photo Kaepernick posted to Instagram on Tuesday:
The photo reportedly was taken earlier this year at an event for Obama's "Let's Move" campaign to get kids more active. And FLOTUS herself took to Twitter to share the pic on Tuesday as well:
