Colin Kaepernick is on a journey to make a comeback in the NFL after his exit six years ago. He’s been actively posting videos on social media, seeking support from marquee players who believe he’s ready for a return. Despite the NFL showing him the exit gate in 2016, numerous endorsement companies are embracing the social activist, fueling his continued fame.
Kaepernick, a 35-year-old NFL star, played a significant role in helping his team 49ers, reach the Super Bowl in 2013. However, he was released from the team after kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality against Black communities. Nonetheless, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Kaepernick is determined to overcome obstacles. He’s partnered with Ben & Jerry’s and another prominent brand worth $167,500,000,000, impressing NFL players along the way.
