QB Colin Kaepernick is back in action at the workouts with the Las Vegas Raiders. Colin has always wanted a comeback after he got exiled from the NFL league after the 2016 season. Finally, former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has got a chance to prove himself.

Pro Football Talk’s host Mike Florio thinks Kaepernick can be the quarterback that the Raiders are looking for. The owner of Raiders, Mike Davis, has shown interest in the QB as he sees a lot of potential in him.

Mike Florio in The Rich Eisen Show said“It was the first time we’ve had an owner speak favorably about Colin Kaepernick and when I saw what Davis had to say, it’s like, well, your backups are Nick Mullins and Garrett Gilbert…You look at the depth chart and it’s like, well, yeah he could. He could make the depth chart better and if nothing else, if they don’t sign him what this does do? It’s the toe in the water, it’s the moment where he gets the workout and the world doesn’t stop spinning.” 

Las Vegas Raiders have an outstanding starting QB, Derek Carr. But the other QBs on the team’s roster haven’t proven to be of much help. Colin can be the No. 2 quarterback for the team, who has enough experience playing under tough situations.
