Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick might be one of the few athletes who can judge Colin Kaepernick and his readiness to play in the NFL next season. The former No.1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft provided insight to fans on how to make a comeback. Despite Vick making his comeback under different circumstances, Kaepernick could use every advice he could get from the NFL veterans before him.

The former Falcons QB was on the route to superstardom before personal troubles led to his departure from the league in 2007. Vick eventually returned to the NFL in 2009 and played for 9 more NFL campaigns. On Thursday, while talking with OutKick360 about Kaepernick, Vick shared his experiences and advice for the former Niners QB.

Vick states, “I think it’ll happen in due time. Typically with a quarterback in Kaep’s position, he’s been out of the league for a couple of years, and he hasn’t played in a long time. It’d probably be smart to come in in a backup role and just play that backup role for another two or three years. And when you get an opportunity to start, you show that you can play.”

Michael Vick believes Colin Kaepernick can again become a starting NFL quarterback

The 4-time Pro Bowler believes that Kaepernick knows that if he continues to work hard, he will earn his starting spot. Vick emphasizes that the former Super Bowl finalist should try to maintain a positive mindset and enjoy himself and his second opportunity. There seems to be a growing belief in Kaepernick getting his chance, and it will be up to him to capitalize on every opportunity.
