Former San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick is still open to coming off the bench for an NFL team. Kaepernick wants to return to the NFL. However, he wants an opportunity to simply compete even more. During his mock interview with Brandon Marshall on, the I Am Athlete Podcast, he claims: “I need to find my way back in,” Kaepernick said in an interview with the “I Am Athlete” podcast, alongside Brandon Marshall, Chad Johnson, and Adam “Pacman” Jones.
Yes indeed if it is required of me to fulfill the role of a substitute player I am willing to do so gracefully. However. I would like to emphasize that my true potential lies in being a starter. Once given the chance to demonstrate my abilities I aspire to confidently take the field as a bona fide starter. All I ask for is an opportunity to open that door and showcase my worth.
Why Should Colin Kaepernick be signed to an NFL Team?
In 2016, Kaepernick played his last down of football. This was the same season when he began to silent protest police brutality by dropping to a knee during the National Anthem. During the interview, he emphasized that signing him now will align with the NFL’s views.
According to the statement, my words should be in line with your public message according to ESPN. “It’s a $16 billion industry. When I initially knelt, my jersey became the top-selling. After partnering with Nike, their worth surged by six billion dollars. Yes, billion with a B.”
“…So, if we’re discussing the business aspect, it demonstrates its advantages. If we’re discussing the playing aspect, give me a chance to compete. Evaluate me based on that. The NFL is meant to be a system where merit matters. Let me compete and prove myself. If I’m not up to par, let me go. But allow me the opportunity to show you.”
Past Experiences of Kaepernick in the NFL
Kaepernick’s last attempt to get signed by an NFL team, he threw to undrafted receivers for NFL scouts of Michigan’s spring game, according to ESPN. Kaepernick made it clear that if anyone was wondering about his impact on the locker room they should ask his former coaches, Jim Harbaugh and Chip Kelly.
“In my final year, 2016, my teammates honored me with the title of the most courageous and inspirational player.” “So, when it comes to the people in the building, there has never been any mention of me being a distraction or causing issues for my teammates,” he stated.
“I haven’t been invited for a workout by any team,” Kaepernick stated. “No team has given me a chance.”
