Colin Kaepernick — His future in the NFL

He has been out of the NFL since the 2016 season for kneeling to the American national anthem as he protested against racial injustice and police brutality. Colin Kaepernick has accomplished his goal this Saturday of proving that he can still play for the league as he completed a workout, arranged by NFL. Eric Reid, a close friend of Kaepernick and former teammate, believes that Colin Kaepernick displayed his ability to play in the NFL after he worked out in front of the team scouts.

The workout, however, involved a lot of chaos and left a trail of controversies, which involved Kaepernick moving the venue at the last minute after a dispute over the contract regarding the workout. This resulted in many scouts not attending the session and even disappointed Jay Z, who has been his supporter and also worked with NFL on the subject.
