On Saturday, Colin Kaepernick is going to have his best shot to show off his talents and possibly get back into the NFL after the league arranged a workout for him.
Via ESPN:
“NFL clubs were informed Tuesday that a private workout will be held for free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Saturday in Atlanta, according to a copy of a memo obtained by ESPN.
In the memo, the league said: “Earlier this year, we discussed some possible steps with his representatives and they recently emphasized his level of preparation and that he is ready to work out for clubs and be interviewed by them. We have therefore arranged this opportunity for him to work out, and for all clubs to have the opportunity to evaluate his current readiness and level of interest in resuming his NFL career.”
Of course, Kaepernick accepted the workout and would soon take to Twitter and release a statement.
“I’m just getting word from my representatives that the NFL league office reached out to them about a workout in Atlanta on Saturday. I’ve been in shape and ready for this for 3 years, can’t wait to see the head coaches and GMs on Saturday.”
His workout did not come without controversy as it reportedly got set last minute and it caught his entire team off guard.

On top of that, one anonymous NFL official is calling out the league for this ‘sham’ of a workout.
Only time will tell if anything comes of this workout and if a team will finally stop this blackballing of him and sign him to their team.
