Former San Francisco 49ers star quarterback Colin Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season after he was unable to find a new team following his protests during the national anthem. But he’s made it clear he still wants to play in the NFL, and he recently made it clear that he’s still talented enough to do it.
Last week, Colin Kaepernick shared a video of a recent workout with several NFL stars including New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ceedee Lamb, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry and New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave.

The video, which appeared to be taken at Nike Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, showed Kaepernick displaying his passing ability and athleticism with the NFL stars, making it clear to fellow NFL players in attendance that Kaepernick can certainly still play at a high level.
“Man, he looks great,” Bourne said. “He looks good. The arm looks strong. He got a rocket of an arm. Look at that man. He got another good six years left.”
“Still got it to him,” Lamb added.
We’ll have to see if this recent workout leads to any chances from NFL teams
