Terrell Owens thinks Colin Kaepernick should join the Fan Controlled Football League.
He made that proclamation when speaking with TMZ Sports:
“I wouldn’t say that, but if he would give it considerable thought. Like I said, me playing in indoor leagues years back, I understood after I played in it for a little bit then getting back on a regular field, I saw that it sharpened my skill set. And they can only do the same for a quarterback. Because the windows are a bit smaller. We’re playing in a condensed space so again, the decision-making will have to be quicker.
So again, for somebody that’s been out of the game for a while, honestly, like I said, you know, as a quarterback, you’re not going to take a lot of hits. But when you think about decision-making, accuracy, those are two top things that a quarterback needs. And that’s what you look at scouts and GMs or what have you. That’s what they evaluate these quarterbacks coming into the league for.”
The former NFL WR added that the league would be perfect for Kaepernick to sharpen his skillset after being away from the NFL for so long.
“So, like I said, this would definitely be a platform; obviously, I feel like he could come in and really, you know, use this to really sharpen his skills, especially because there’s a question about him not playing just as me. So again, to come in and really just give yourself a true evaluation.
I think back, and so football or any league at that point would be a great, great opportunity for him. Because like I said, it’ll only enhance his skill set to relax and help with his accuracy and everything like that, the windows are smaller, everything. You have to just be on point with your footwork, everything. So, this would be a great opportunity for him if he strongly considered it.”
Owens recently just signed on and will be playing on the same team as Johnny Manziel.

Much like Kaepernick — Owens is also trying to get back into the NFL. He played his first eight seasons in the league with the 49ers, then two years with the Philadelphia Eagles, three years with the Dallas Cowboys, and one season each with the Buffalo Bills and Bengals.
The 48-year-old is third in NFL history in touchdown receptions with 153 and in receiving yards with 15,934 yards.
