FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Colin Kaepernick plans to audition for NFL teams Saturday in a private workout arranged by the league.
The exiled former Pro Bowl quarterback posted the following on Twitter:
<span class="wsc-grammar-problem" data-grammar-phrase="">"</span>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.<span class="wsc-grammar-problem" data-grammar-phrase="">"</span>
The NFL has not confirmed Kaepernick's workout details.
Kaepernick hasn't played since 2016 with the San Francisco 49ers. He helped start a wave of protests about social and racial injustice that season by kneeling during the national anthem at games. The NFL in February settled a collusion grievance Kaepernick and former teammate Eric Reid filed against the league. Reid now plays for the Carolina Panthers.
