Colin Kaepernick shows that he remains ready for an NFL chance in new workout video

Still waiting.

Despite some perceived momentum last summer for Colin Kaepernick’s return to the NFL amid the global response to the Black Lives Matter movement, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback remains without a job in the league.

In fact, that aforementioned momentum wasn’t all that genuine as no team even brought Kaepernick in for a workout.

But as Kaepernick showed in a new workout video, he has continued to train five days a week in case an NFL team ever decides to call.

Kaepernick posted a video on Monday showing him going through a workout with fellow NFL free agent Eric Reid — who remains unsigned since being released by the Panthers.

1,363 days of being denied employment.

In the caption, Kaepernick wrote that it had been 1,363 days of the NFL denying him an opportunity in the league. He added hashtags of #StillReady and #StopRunning.

Both Kaepernick and Reid kneeled during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial injustice while members of the 49ers. Reid continued that protest in two seasons with Carolina. Kaepernick was blackballed and reached an undisclosed settlement with the league.

Following Sunday’s season-ending injury to Bengals No. 1 pick Joe Burrow, calls for Cincinnati to bring in Kaepernick were trending on Twitter. The Bengals have just Ryan Finley and practice squad quarterback Brandon Allen on roster.

But just as we’ve seen countless times over the years, teams have shied away from even giving Kaepernick a workout in favor of objectively worse quarterbacks.
