This user mentioned: "Controversial, but he should be in the league. Back up at least, has experience and can teach a young qb a few things. Unfortunately, there’s too many uncle sam’s in this country who have no clue about injustice. Sucks, man."

Colin Kaepernick and his NFL comeback
Kaepernick last played in the NFL in the 2016 season for the 49ers. That season, he played in 12 games, starting 11 of them. He threw for 2,241 yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
At the University of Michigan's spring game, Kaepernick will be reunited with the head coach who drafted him into the NFL, Jim Harbaugh. The current head coach at Michigan coached the quarterback for four seasons with San Francisco (2011 - 2014).
Will NFL teams sign the 34-year-old Kaepernick after his throwing display at Michigan's spring game? We'll have to wait and see.
