Follow Us
In this offseason, Colin Kaepernick generated several splashes as he continues to function along with existing NFL players. He takes part in various throwing sessions, fueling speculation about a future comeback to the league. For the return to the NFL, he has a lot of support. However, given that none of the NFL’s 32 teams officially requested a workout for the former 49ers quarterback, his chances of returning to the league appear to be limited. However, if not the NFL, does the athlete stands a chance in the XFL?
The erstwhile quarterback-turned-activist regrouped alongside head coach Jim Harbaugh at Michigan’s spring game last weekend, in which they invited him to take part in a passing tryout for NFL evaluators; an exercise he hopes would help him land a “starting job.”

The 34-year-old is keen to show that he can assist organizations in succeeding. He’s been out for 6 years. However, according to recent stories, he’s in better physical condition than ever and is currently taking the moment to practice and hone his skills.
Kaepernick spoke to Detroit’s WXYZ following his attendance at Michigan’s Maize and Blue spring match on Saturday about just what word he has to offer the NFL teams who could try to sign him to the squad. He mentions, “I can help make you a better team. I can help you win games.”

Colin is aware that the current scenario will most likely prevent me from acquiring a starting position. He’s certain, however, that he’ll be able to get there.
Can Colin Kaepernick make a breakthrough in XFL?
While the quarterback’s acquisitions escalated in this year’s NFL offseason, Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned despite all efforts. If not the NFL, the XFL, which is set to re-launch in 2023, can allow the athlete.
XFL owner Dwayne Johnson had a few words to say about Colin Kaepernick’s situation back in 2019. The scenario is currently “polarizing.” According to ‘The Rock,‘ he adds that as they’re all athletes by profession, the Kaepernick problem is the one that is closest to him. Moreover, the Hollywood actor also suggested that it all comes right down to how much the Franchise owners want Kaepernick.
