Who’s faster: Colin Kaepernick, the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, or Russell Wilson, the QB for the Seattle Seahawks?

Imangi Studios is putting that to the test with the release today of the two NFL players for the Temple Run 2. You can choose to buy the players for 99 cents each and make them run for their lives in Temple Run 2, an enormously popular touchscreen game where you have to swipe the screen to evade a pursuing monster. The deal shows that pro football players have figured out that mobile games can be a gold mine.
