Colin Kaepernick, former NFL player turned civil rights activist, has not given up on his dream of returning to the NFL, judging by a recent video posted to his Instagram account.
The video shows Kaep on a football field, football in hand, dropping back, showing some footwork, and throwing a pass.
The caption reads “Still Working.”
Watch the video below:
Kaep received a lot of support in the comments, and a lot of NFL fans pleaded for him to come to their teams.
Scoop some comments below:
On August 26, 2016, Kaep started a kneeling campaign during the National Anthem, during a pre-season game against the Green Bay Packers, in protest against racial injustice and police brutality against minorities in the U.S.
He continued his protest throughout the 2016 NFL season.
Reportedly, Kaep was told that he would be released from the 49ers because he did not fit into incoming head coach Kyle Shanahan’s plans.
The popular opinion is that Kaep was on the cut list from the 49ers franchise for kneeling.
Kaep opted out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2017 and entered free agency. He had one year remaining on his contract at the time.
In February 2019, Kaep came to a confidential settlement with the NFL after filing a grievance, in 2017, claiming the NFL owners were colluding against him to keep him out of the NFL.
Colin Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since the 2016-2017 season.
