Colin Kaepernick has been making waves. The free agent pitched his offer to the Jets, which the team rejected. However, even after being rejected, Kaepernick is venturing into a new business, along with prominent players like Patrick Mahomes from the NFL. The venture is being built to set the world of e-sports on fire, with all the anticipation it has created. This will be one of the major things Kaepernick did after 2016.
Kaepernick has been dismissed from the NFL since he kneeled down in protest at the 49ers game in 2016. Since then, no team has accepted him. Yet the former 49ers quarterback isn’t someone to lose his spirit. Kaepernick since then has ventured into multiple ventures like social activism, and now e-sports.

Yes, you heard that right. Kaepernick is launching his very own e-sports project. In other words, a video game. Wild Card Football is an arcade game that features flying saucers hovering above the field and super-sized characters for more thrill. Along with much more chaos with some players resembling real-life players, and interestingly some extraterrestrials too. The parent company Saber Interactive collaborated with one team partner to make Kaepernick’s dream a reality. After the trailer, narrated by ESPN personality Chris Berman, was launched, fans can’t wait for the launch date. Some of the most popular NFL players like Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and more will be there.
The video game would be a major milestone of Kaepernick’s life after he released his graphic novel ‘Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game’. The novel talks about his tough childhood and about the struggles in his way. As the novel received fairly positive reviews from the audience, Kaepernick got all the motivation he needed to launch his video game, which is launching on October 10, after he got snubbed by the Jets.
