Being an NFL quarterback is probably one of the most challenging jobs to do in the league. In terms of memorizing your playbook, making the right reads, and even taking on the brunt of the media scrutiny, former NFL signal caller Colin Kaepernick knows quite a bit about that.
Kaepernick has been out of the NFL since the 2016 season after the national anthem controversy. The former 49ers dual threat led a movement in which players would kneel during the anthem to protest police brutality.
The NFL decided they had enough after the movement got so out of hand that former US president Donald Trump commented on it. Kaepernick never played another snap in the league. He has made numerous comeback attempts but has been unsuccessful until now.
Former Michigan bench boss Jim Harbaugh, who also coached the quarterback in San Francisco, was brought into the Los Angeles Chargers locker room this season to be the head coach after years of mediocrity. In an interview with USA Today, Harbaugh said that “he’d be a tremendous coach.”

The odds are that the former NFL star won’t take the offer as he is still determined to play in the league. His latest comeback attempt was last season after he tried joining the New York Jets’ practice roster after the Aaron Rodgers injury.

Harbaugh did, however, say that the 36-year-old is indeed thinking about a return to the game in a coaching role. “We talked a little bit about it,” Harbaugh said in the interview, adding, “He said he was going to get back to me. We haven’t reconnected since then.”
While it may break the internet if the controversial figure somehow lands a roster spot in the NFL, we can’t deny that Colin Kaepernick being on the same coaching staff as his former play-caller would be a pretty exciting story.
