The NFL has arranged a private workout for Colin Kaepernick in Atlanta that all of the league’s 32 teams have been invited to.
A memo about the private workout, scheduled for this Saturday, was posted online by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The memo was also sent to the league’s 32 teams inviting them to the workout. The event will include a series of drills on the field as well as an interview. According to NFL.com, several teams have inquired about Kap’s ability to get on the green again, and his reps have expressed their desire for him to return to the NFL.
“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,” ESPN quoted the memo as saying. “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.”
Kaepernick’s workout will be run by scouting combine personnel and former NFL coaches. Any teams on hand can also hold interviews with Kaepernick, per Wyche. The 32-year-old hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016 when he took a knee to protest police brutality and racial inequality in America.
Kap filed a grievance through the NFLPA against the league on Oct. 16, 2017. The grievance between Kaepernick and Eric Reid against the NFL was resolved in February.
