"I think it will happen in due time" - Former NFL QB Michael Vick discusses Colin Kaepernick's potential return to NFL
Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick discussed quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his possible return to the NFL. Vick, who’s now an NFL analyst for Fox Sports 1, said that the former San Francisco 49ers signal-caller's return would happen in due time, stating that it would be wise for him to return to the league in a backup role:
“I think it will happen in due time…He’s been out the league a couple years and he hasn’t played in a long time, it’d probably be smart to just come in in a backup role, and just play that backup role for two or three years. And, when you get an opportunity to start, you show that you can play. You win a series of games. You win five or six games.”

Kaepernick recently worked out with the Las Vegas Raiders in hopes of a return to the league, and Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr said that Las Vegas signing Kaepernick would be great:
"I don't want to speak for everybody in that kind of sense. I don't want someone mad at me for saying, 'I think it would be great,' but I know him and I would get along great."
The last time Kaepernick was in the league was back in the 2016 season with San Francisco, where he played in 12 games, starting 11 of them. In that 2016 season, he threw for 2,241 yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also ran for 468 yards and two touchdowns.
