How laughable.

Colin Kaepernick hasn’t been in the NFL in over six years, but that hasn’t stopped him from staying in shape just in case a franchise decides to bring him in.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Kaepernick said that he trains on average 5-6 days per week. However, as of early June, the former San Francisco 49er didn’t have any workouts with NFL teams on his schedule.

“I’m going to keep pushing. I’m going to keep fighting for it because I know I can step on the field and play. Every workout, every opportunity I’ve had to show that, the feedback has always been positive. Everything from, ‘He’s still an elite player,’ to ‘The workout was great; it was better than expected,” said Kaepernick.

“When I had my workout with the Raiders last year, even training with guys, there’s a decent amount of people who may have forgotten what I was capable of doing on the field, so any chance to be able to remind people of what I can do out there, I look forward to and embrace, and I look forward to the day that I get to step on the field and show people what I can do.

I just want the opportunity to come in, show what I can do on the field. Judge me based upon that, not the political bias that you have.”

Correct, Mr. Hookstead. Correct.

The thing about Colin Kaepernick … he isn’t serious about coming back to the NFL. If he was, he would’ve signed with a team when he had the chance a few years ago. This is an attempt to stay in the press, to stay relevant, because quite frankly, nobody cares anymore about ol’ Kap. The only reason why we’re talking about him now is because he brought up an NFL comeback. That’s the only time people catch a little interest, and he knows it.

Which is exactly why he’s back with this little stunt.
