"Colin Kaepernick created all commotion" - Antonio Brown slams former NFL star Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick is creating drama to seek attention, according to former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown. On the This is 50 podcast, Brown said that the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback isn’t in the same situation as he is and discussed their differing circumstances:
"You ain't even built like that. I'm saying there are dudes like me, they ban you. They don't even give you contracts. They don't even want to deal with you. You don't say I'm a really icon right now. You're gonna see no one writing no books about me."
He switched focus to Kaepernick and the differences between the two:
"Where's he at right now? Do you see him? I'm on the streets outside every day. People see me they get aside it. Why? Because I make them feel good. You know, I'm saying they could relate.”
Brown concluded by stating that the quarterback is the source of all the commotion:
“I still put on a smile, I overcome it. You know, I'm saying Colin Kaepernick created all commotion and winning the cut and the corner. And I'm saying I'm in the peoples faces every day."
“What is Colin Kaepernick doing? Where’s he at right now?… I’m on the streets outside every day!… Yeah, they let him play football and let him get commercials” ~ @AB84 on @Kaepernick7

Is Colin Kaepernick making an NFL Comeback?
The quarterback last played in the NFL back in the 2016 season for the 49ers, playing in 12 games and starting 11 of them. In the 2016 preseason, he knelt during the national anthem to protest inequality and brutality against minorities.
In his six seasons in the league, he has thrown for 12,271 yards, 72 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions. He also showed his mobility, rushing for 2,300 yards and 13 touchdowns. Since his departure, there have been periodic rumors of the star returning, however it has yet to materialize.
During this offseason, he’s once again been working out and rumors abound of a return to the NFL. At the age of 34, it remains uncertain as to whether any team will take a chance on him. Have we seen the last of Kaepernick in the NFL? We’ll have to wait and see.
