Colin Kaepernick is not only receiving endorsements from brands but also from marquee players. The former San Francisco 49ers QB’s protest against police brutality targeted at the black community gained widespread attention, impacting his NFL career. Nevertheless, the 35-year-old secured significant endorsements from major brands like Ben & Jerry’s and Nike.

Despite this success, Kaepernick’s passion for football remains unwavering. He actively reached out to NFL teams last year, expressing his eagerness to demonstrate his potential. Recent reports from SI confirm he maintains a rigorous daily training routine, keeping his dream of an NFL comeback alive. Additionally, this time, numerous NFL players have rallied behind him, further fueling his determination.

The stunning endorsement in a new ad for the big brand!

Colin Kaepernick recently posted a workout video on his Instagram account, recorded at Nike HQ in Oregon. In the video, NFL colleagues endorsed him in a Nike ad as he continues to hope for an NFL return, despite not having thrown a pass in a game for six years. The $20 million social activist captioned the post, “We Stay Sharp. @usnikefootball #TheOnes.” The video features Kaepernick throwing to several targets, including NFL wide receivers like CeeDee Lamb, Kendrick Bourne, Jaylen Waddle, Chris Olave, and running backs Najee Harris, and Derrick Henry, all of whom are Nike-endorsed athletes.

In the video, Lamb’s voiceover could be heard saying about Kap, “The arm’s still intact, strong arm. Deep balls, very nice. Man, he’s still Kaep, now. (He’s) still got it …” Bourne said, “Man, he looks great…He looks good, the arm looks strong. He got a rocket of an arm. Look at that man. He got another good six years left.” While Kaepernick’s logo appears at the end of the clip, he does not speak in the video.

NFL Return of Colin Kaepernick Takes a Backseat After New Hulu Project and Showbusiness Aspirations

Despite his efforts to secure a deal in the NFL, there are potential reasons why he may not be signed by any NFL team in the future.

Why is Colin Kaepernick not signed by any NFL team?

Colin Kaepernick’s famous protest in 2016 could be the primary reason for his unsigned status. Despite initially leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2011, his decision to kneel during the national anthem to raise awareness about police brutality and racial injustice led to his effective removal from the league by the NFL.

Since then, he hasn’t received a contract. Moreover, questions are raised about his skill level and future intentions due to years without playing, and limited openness in interviews.

These factors, along with the unpredictability of his playing style and past activities, may explain why teams are hesitant to take a risk and sign him, despite his repeated public pleas for a second chance in the NFL.
