It had already been announced that the Dallas Cowboys were expected to be one of the teams with a representative in Atlanta for Colin Kaepernick’s workout. They definitely won’t be the only team in attendance.
According to The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride, the Patriots will, in fact, have a representative in attendance.
USA Today’s Jarrett Bell reported that the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins also confirmed they will have representatives in town to watch Kaepernick, and the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers expect to have someone there.
After three years in NFL purgatory, Colin Kaepernick is finally getting a real shot at getting back into the league. The 32-year-old took to his Twitter account, saying he has “been in shape and ready for this for 3 years.”
“I think that’s awesome,” safety Devin McCourty said. “I think for him, a guy that’s been fighting to try and get back in the league and I think, from a player’s standpoint, a lot of guys have watched him play football and, I think, truly believe he deserves a shot to be in this league.”

Kaepernick is widely believed to be blackballed after he spent the 201 NFL season kneeling during pregame national anthem ceremonies as part of a non-violent protest to draw attention to the mistreatment of African-Americans. The act drew heavy criticism and backlash from across the country.
