The upcoming season of the NFL is upon us. As the free agency is open, many players are seeking to play for new teams. Some players haven’t been part of the league for a reasonable amount of time. Notably, Colin Kaepernick is one of them.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin, last played in NFL on 1st January 2017. Following the end of his contract with the 49ers, he became a free agent. As a result, it has been five years since the quarterback was a part of the league.

In the current offseason, Colin Kaepernick has tried quite hard to get a chance to play in the league. He also displayed his skills in Michigan, which caught the eye of many teams. There is still a possibility of him getting picked by one of the teams before the start of next season.
