Colin Kaepernick is someone who garnered immense importance via news waves this year. The Raiders recently brought in the former NFL QB for a tryout, and things might head somewhere this time. While Kap has received his share of criticisms, a famous NFL reporter serves as his vocal backup this time.

Colin Kaepernick becomes a major center of the attraction despite his inactivity in the league. Workout videos aside, he has transitioned himself into a social activist. However, the former San Francisco 49ers QB has kept an NFL return open for the future.

Veteran NFL reporter Mike Florio and Peter King from Pro Football Talk debate how much place is in the profession for the QB to maintain his advocacy while also competing on the turf. During the broadcast, Florio defends Kaepernick, stating he’s done quite a bit for communities off the court.

He mentions, “There’s this misconception among guys like Pacman Jones, and who else jumped in on Antonio Brown, that one of the reasons and logic and reliability, and good works for the community questioning what Colin Kaepernick has done, Google it. Colin Kaepernick has done plenty. The things he’s done, the things he says, the way he lives, his life is in harmony with the gigantic letters that are at the back of the end-zone.”

The NFL reporter’s remarks appear to be in retaliation for a recent comment made by Adam “Pacman” Jones. He concurred with Antonio Brown that Kap had performed little or nothing to serve the people.

Mike Florio wasn’t always a Colin Kaepernick supporter

It’s interesting to witness a personality like Mike Florio come to the aid of Colin Kaepernick and his NFL re-emergence quest. However, Florio was once Kaepernick’s sharpest antagonist. After praising the former quarterback on Twitter, he highlighted certain touchdown sites that may use some expert assistance. The reporter also reckons he can replace leading quarterbacks like Tua Tagovailoa and outshine them.

However, some of Florio’s old tweets also come into the light, where it looks clear that he can clobber Kap verbally.

Florio’s tweet is difficult to trust. It’s unique for anyone to modify his mind for somebody. Colin appears to have earned his esteem through his dedication to community service. Furthermore, prior to the kickoff, the Las Vegas Raiders provided him with a golden opportunity. We might not get your hopes too high, but expect something interesting.
