“Nobody Is Even Asking You About Kap”: HOF Tight End Shannon Sharpe Rips Coach Pete Carroll For Talking About Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick, the ex-NFL quarterback, has been striving to re-enter the league for the past couple of seasons. He has been proactively posting workout videos across various facilities to gain his fair shot in the league. The athlete had some league support, as Seahawks HC Pete Carroll has been quite vocal about the QB’s chance of redemption. The franchise even hosted him for a workout, advancing into some progress to fill the vacant QB1 position. However, Shannon Sharpe isn’t a fan of Carroll’s constant rattle over Kaepernick.

The athlete ultimately got a slight breakthrough in football. In recent times, Jim Harbaugh, Colin’s former coach, has named him the honorary captain of Michigan in this weekend’s Maize and Blue Springtime Game. Apart from the sport, he has been active in his secondary ventures. Before news erupted, the quarterback announced his new children’s book’s release date as well.

Shannon Sharpe blasts Pete Carroll

During the Skip & Shannon: Undisputed talk show, Jenny Taft asks Shannon Sharpe if Colin Kaepernick will get any other tryout from an NFL franchise.

His response was swift, and he also hollers over Pete Carroll as he said that Kap had approached him concerning a tryout for the team. But that their communication has stalled. Sharpe has been watching a lot of his efforts to keep up with what’s happening around. He’s still battling for it because he’s working diligently and flying across the country to get his workout in.

He mentions, “Nobody’s even asking [Pete Carroll] about Kap. You brought up something about Kap to keep people from asking you. How the hell did you let Russell Wilson leave? Oh, players come and go, but the philosophy stays the same. Okay, I’m gonna see how much of that philosophy wins.”

Sharpe further says that people are eventually going to get tired of Carroll. There’s the fact that both the legion of boom and Russell Wilson are not coming back.

Will Colin Kaepernick fill the QB1 gap?

Kaepernick, who helped the 49ers reach Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, played his last game in the year in 2016. During his career, he threw for 12,271 yards, 72 passing touchdowns, and 30 interceptions. Kaepernick was a second-round choice of the 49ers in 2011 and originally rose to prominence as a second-year replacement for Alex Smith, displaying dual-threat ability.

The 2022 offseason has seen a scarcity of quality quarterbacks in the league. Teams like the Seattle Seahawks and Indianapolis Colts lack in the Qb1 position after they trade Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz, respectively. Colin has been striving to get a return to the league, conducting several on-field workouts for scouts, including one with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this month.

The offseason hasn’t yet ended, and anything can happen over a few days. Only time will tell whether Kaepernick finds his way back into the NFL and return in the form.
