Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, while searching for his next NFL team, seems to be making strides in another field. Kaepernick’s autobiographical book ‘I Color Myself Different’ debuted at No.83 on the USA Today’s Best Selling Book List. It was a result of the collaboration between Kaepernick’s own publishing company and Scholastic for a fascinating new project based on his life.
The Kaepernick Publishing company was founded in 2019 by the former NFL QB to spread his message. It began with an aim at elevating ‘a new generation of writers with diverse views and voices through the creation of powerful works of all genres that can build a better and more just world.’

The fighting words from Kaepernick only seem to show his readiness to make a big splash whenever he gets his chance.

It is a curious case for the lack of any real urgency from teams to bring in a player with Kaepernick’s skills and abilities. While he might be way down on their selection pecking order, NFL fans will be eager to see him get his fair opportunity to play football. But as things stand, time might be running out as another season approaches with Kaepernick still without a team.
