Though Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played in an NFL game in nearly six years, he still draws more attention from media and fans than most current players.
When former NFL Colin Kaepernick sat down for an interview with the I Am Athlete podcast, it drew reactions from every corner of the country, including Antonio Brown.
Former NFL cornerback Pacman Jones agreed with what AB had to say.
“As far as the community part, I think AB is right,” Jones said. “We haven’t heard anything that Kaep did for the community or given back to the community after the settlement. That part of the question, I do think AB is right.”
Kaepernick created the Know Your Rights Camp, “to raise awareness on higher education, self-empowerment, and instructions on how to properly interact with law enforcement in various scenarios.”
Jones disagrees with Brown’s assessment that Kaepernick doesn’t want to play.

“I just think it’s hard for a guy to fairytale for 2.5 hours, three hours every day throwing the ball if you don’t want to play,” Jones said. “I think he wants to play. Do he deserve to play? That’s another question. But, do he want to play? I do think he wants to play.”
Jones has a separate concern regarding Kaepernick’s reluctance to play wherever he can to show what he has still left in the tank.
“I actually asked him that on the show, because that was one of my points,” Jones said. “If you want to play so bad, why wouldn’t you go and get film? He’s adamant about the situation that he’s an NFL quarterback. That was the part that kind of made me go a different way. Because I had a chance to get football taken away from me, and I was to the point where I wanted to play so bad that I would have went and played anywhere.”
