San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Joe Staley is relishing next season's rivalry with the Seattle Seahawks, while backing quarterback Colin Kaepernick to be even better than last year.
Battle
"You look at the pistol offence as well and the hits that the guys take, especially with him being a mobile quarterback, you worry about that but with his training regimen and the way he works out he's preparing his body for battle.
"He has all the talent in the world, it's never a talent question, but as far the hunger to get better and the drive and leadership it's all the stuff you look for in a quarterback. I'm very excited about this off-season for him, for him to know this is 100 percent his team."
Staley also picked out a second trip to London to play at Wembley Stadium with the 49ers as one of the highlights he was looking out for this season.
"I'm really looking forward to playing in London, we played there two years ago and that was really great to play at Wembley, so I'm really excited to get another opportunity to go over there and play."
