Former San Francisco 49ers star Colin Kaepernick is carrying on with life after the NFL. The ex-QB has not played a game in the league since 2017. While he remains hopeful of making a comeback one day, reports suggest that this year might not be Kap’s year in the NFL. He recently made headlines after training with current WRs and RBs playing in the league. Apart from this, Colin Kaepernick also has various endorsement deals with big brands, as he continues his work as a human rights activist in the country.

Now, the 35-year-old ex-QB took to social media to endorse this $1 billion giant. And this endorsement comes after Kap collaborated with the company on their products a while ago.

In a recent Instagram story shared by the former NFL QB, we see him repost a story by Giovanni Fillari, who works as a brand marketer for Nike. The post shows him asking for a restock of the Change the Whirled flavor of ice cream while tagging both Ben And Jerry’s as well as Colin Kaepernick. The flavor is a mix of caramel and sunflower butter base that includes fudge chips, graham cracker swirls and chocolate cookie swirls. Apart from this collaboration, 100% of the earnings from this flavor go to his activism organization, Know Your Rights camp.
