Give it a Rest: Ten Years After Taking a Knee, Colin Kaepernick Says He’s Still Calling Teams Begging for NFL Comeback
Disgraced ex-NFL quarterback turned Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick said this week that he still wants to make a comeback to the NFL and is actively looking for his shot after nearly a decade of not playing.
The 38-year-old, who was never extraordinarily good, recently appeared in an interview with Men’s Health, where he said that despite no longer even watching the NFL, he’s still desperately calling teams for his chance.
“I’ll follow the stat lines to be able to see also what teams we should be calling,” he said before going on about “the history and legacy of black quarterbacks.”
Asked by Men’s Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel if he’s “game ready” and wanting to “get in and still play,” Kaepernick said “Oh, yes.”
“I still train five days a week. I’m up at 4:30 in the morning doing my training before I go about the rest of my day,” he said.
Kaepernick last played — and lost — with the 49ers on January 1, 2017, months after he began kneeling for the National Anthem and made fans hate him. After entering free agency that year, he was never signed again.
Kaepernick: I don’t watch any of the games anymore, but I I do love seeing the young quarterbacks coming up being successful. I’ll follow the stat lines to be able to see also what teams we should be calling. Yeah. But that becomes part of, I think, overall the the history and legacy of black quarterbacks is we have changed the game. It does look different because of the play and how it showed up, and we’ve also got to see an evolution of that towards that being more normal.
