Colin Kaepernick Has Message For NFL Teams: Fans React
Colin Kaepernick may not have taken an NFL snap since 2016, but the former 49ers quarterback is still pushing to come back to a league many feel he never should have been left out of.
In a recent interview with WXYZ Detroit’s Jeanna Trotman, Kaepernick said he “absolutely” believes he could still play at the NFL level. And he told every franchise in the National Football League, “I can help make you a better team. I can help you win games.”

“Kaepernick was honest, open, and confident in this conversation,” Trotman followed up. “When he got announced for the coin flip, there were *some* boos, but more cheers in Michigan Stadium. After halftime, he was gracious in spending time with fans and players for photos and autographs.”
