Colin Kaepernick’s athletic career has been short-lived, like a snowman in an NFL realm. His efforts to be back in NFL remain no alien to the world, but he still can’t make it to the NFL after 2016. During his time in the NFL, he has gained plaudits for his outstanding performance as a quarterback. On top of that, he paved the way to a Super Bowl victory with the San Francisco 49ers.

Colin played football in college at the University of Nevada before entering the NFL. However, he was well-known for his Baseball prowess during his high school days. He was an exceptional pitcher and received a lot of offers in high school. In his graphic novel, Change the Game, Colin was acknowledged for walking in the shadow of this famous Baseball legend.

Change the Game gives us an instance of  Colin’s childhood and the obstacles he faced throughout his sporting life. The novel beautifully illustrates the horrendous scenario of black and white about his own life. In one of the chapters, Colin mentioned Bo Jackson, who is one of the most versatile players in the sporting world. He captivated the world with his jaw-dropping performances in both the Baseball and Football realm.

Bo Jackson played for four seasons in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders. During these four years, he gave a stunning performance that is still the talk of the town. In his NFL career, he made four catches for 352 yards and even got a chance to play in a Pro Bowl. But this is not the end, he even showed his passion in his eight seasons span in the MLB.

Colin showed his happiness towards those who let him feel good about himself, as he wrote, “And I started to notice that people who made me feel good about myself made me feel like I belonged. I want to maneuver toward those people.”
