Victor Cruz does the salsa when he scores a touchdown and Arian Foster bows whenever he reaches the endzone. While both, and many other, celebrations are merely adopted actions, they somehow become synonymous with the respective athlete. During the last couple of weeks, Colin Kaepernick has gotten in the habit of kissing his bicep after scoring a TD and again, he isn't the first person to ever do it, however, the act is being referred to as "Kaepericking" these days. And with the newest craze sweeping the nation, sorry "Te'oing," the 49ers' quarterback is trying to capitalize on the situation, literally.

Correction: Colin Kaepernick has applied to trademark "Kaepernicking." It hasn't officially been trademarked. #49ers

Will Kaepernicking go the way of Tebowing or Griffining? Uh, most likely.
