DK Metcalf believes Colin Kaepernick deserves another chance in the NFL

Shannon Sharpe asked DK Metcalf, “Do you think he’ll get another shot? Do you think he deserves another shot?”, referring to Colin Kaepernick. DK replied, “A 100%, everybody deserves a second chance, at you know anything they do, in my opinion.”

Shannon further asked DK, “Do you believe he is going to get that opportunity?”, DK said, “Somebody is going to take that chance and give him that opportunity.”

Despite DK Metcalf’s optimism about Colin Kaepernick’s return, making a return at this point in time will be a tough task for Colin. This is primarily because of the amount of competition for the quarterback spot around the league. In the NFL Draft 2022, it was quite visible that teams were not trying to gamble for a quarterback and were ready to play the waiting game.

With the likes of Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo still without a potential starting job at the quarterback position next season, chances are very less for Colin Kaepernick to get a spot on any team.

Colin, who hasn’t played a single snap of football since 2017, might need more time to prove his worth to his suitors. Options might open up for him during the season if any injuries occur to any of the quarterbacks.
