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:

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.
