Colin Kaepernick is looking for people to catch his passes.
After leading the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance in 2012 and kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice in the US, quarterback Colin Kapernick did not play in the National Football League in 2016
For the past 5 years, he has been working out and staying ready in case an opportunity arises. I am very grateful to my trainer, who I have been throwing to all this time. Do I miss throwing to professional runners? Who is working? I will pull up.
Tyler Lockett immediately volunteered and said he would coordinate with him on Monday. It was not immediately known where they will meet.
Last Thursday, he posted a video of himself working out in the hopes of a return to the league.

The team only wanted a backup for Russell Wilson when they met with Colin Kaepernick a few years ago. Wilson has been traded to Denver.
When Joe Flacco was injured in the preseason in the summer of 2017, the Ravens considered signing Colin Kaepernick. Steve Bisciotti said he consulted with fans before the team passed.
There were no job offers after the NFL organized a workout for Colin Kaepernick in Atlanta in November.
In October of last year, Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid filed grievances against the league, saying they were blacklisted because of their protests. A settlement was reached in 2019.
When he took a knee in 2016 to protest police brutality and racial injustice, he was alone. Fans burned his jersey and he was booed at home even though he joined him, as politicians, team owners and other players criticized him. The opinion of the world shifted to the point that more people began to call out those who misrepresented their stance.
He has not been offered an opportunity to return to the NFL.
