Colin Kaepernick just made an epic attempt at trying to get back to the NFL after a 6-year hiatus. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback revealed his wishes to join the practice squad in his letter to the New York Jets. But many people are doubtful of his return from a long break. 

After his controversial exit from the NFL in 2016, the attempted comeback drew both supporters and naysayers from the world of football. But there are people like Pat McAfee who still believe in returning player’s luck. See how he vouched for Colin Kaepernick in his statement on his show. 

Pat McAfee discloses his desire for Colin Kaepernick to get an opportunity 

We’ll never know until a chance is given. This is what the former NFL punter expresses in The Pat McAfee Show on Colin Kaepernick’s letter to the Jets. He shows his hope for the 35-year-old free agent, saying, “I hope there’s an opportunity for us to see whether or not he’s still got it or not.“

The latest news about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick asking to join the Jets met with diverse reactions. With injured Aaron Rodgers out of the game and the recent loss to the New England Patriots, the NFL record breaker took his chance to offer his services to the Jets. 

In his letter to the Jets head coach Joe Douglas, he states that he would be “honored” to be a part of the team and “lead the practice squad” to give their defense a “truer read.” The New York Jets already signed Trevor Siemian as practice squad quarterback. And it is also possible that Siemian’s latest win out rules Kaepernick’s long hiatus.

Pat McAfee takes into consideration his years away from training and discipline and acknowledges the challenge it would be for Colin to come back to the NFL as a quarterback. He said, “I think it’s gonna be difficult but he’s saying hey let me be on the practice squad. So I don’t think he’s that far away from XFL… I don’t think he’s that far away from potentially getting to a point where I just want to play football and prove myself.” 

Colin Kaepernick’s football comeback skill is shrouded in mystery

The former 49er left the NFL after an incident where he protested against racial discrimination and police brutality by sitting down during the US national anthem. But during his six seasons with the 49ers, he made impressions by breaking two NFL records for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a game with 181 yards and most rushing yards by a quarterback in a postseason with 264 yards. 

Colin Kaepernick is now an American civil rights activist and a free agent. However, he disclosed that he still wakes up early for a three-hour training session in the weight room and on the field. Pat McAfee also believes he’s a great prospect for XFL. 

While uncertainty reigns over Colin Kaepernick and his football journey, the two-time WAC Offensive Player of the Year is still prepared and ever-ready. We can only hope for him to have a chance at proving that he still has his abilities as a football player.
