Colin Kaepernick Becomes A Trending Topic After Fans Became Upset Over Tim Tebow Getting Another Shot In NFL (TWEETS)

Once again during another offseason, Colin Kaepernick found himself trending on Monday after it was reported the Jacksonville Jaguars were planning on signing Tim Tebow to a one-year deal at a tight end.

Tebow has not played in a regular-season NFL game since the 2012 season with the New York Jets, while Kaepernick hasn’t played since the 2016 season. He has since sued the league, alleging owners had blackballed him and worked together to keep him off rosters because of his protesting during the national anthem.

After the news came down, social media brought up the former QB and had him trending for hours:

Waiting for Colin Kaepernick to sign with the #Jaguars as a tight end too….. Wait, no?

Tebow – Hasn't played in the NFL since 2012. Gets another shot.

Kaepernick – Hasn't played since 2016. Gets nothing.

Tim Tebow finding a team and Colin Kaepernick can’t.

White privilege NFL style.

Tebow can’t throw, never could, never played TE, and hasn’t played in ..what …8 years?

Explain it to me like I’m 5.

Interesting how the same people that are praising Tim Tebow for his values outside of football, see Colin Kaepernick's values as a distraction. pic.twitter.com/aqbDpZZXci

The fact that religious chauvinist, Tim Tebow, gets another shot at the NFL before Colin Kaepernick does proves once and for all it's not about talent and never was.

Tim Tebow hasn’t played in 8 seasons.

Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played in 4.

This signing destroys the “Kaepernick has been out of the league too long” narrative. https://t.co/RzehBbtVd6 pic.twitter.com/oazE5fKIIg

In Kaepernick’s last season in the NFL, he had 16 touchdown passes and only four interceptions in 12 games. He had 2,241 passing yards and 468 rushing yards.

Tebow refused to change positions way back when to further his career, so it basically took him nine years and his former college head coach coming to the NFL to make it happen.
