Colin Kaepernick has garnered significant media attention during the 2022 NFL offseason. This year, he has spent considerable time working out with several NFL players. With his offseason rehearsals and halftime Michigan spring game appearances among NFL scouts, he has been doing it all.

Colin Kaepernick gets the ‘Fields’ patronage

Colin Kaepernick’s efficiency at a recent practice intrigued Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. The Bears QB thought Kaepernick did well in a passing exercise, according to Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk. Fields revealed that both he and Kaepernick share a personal quarterback instructor which contributed to the two of them connecting, and Fields attending one of Kaepernick’s workouts.

He mentions, “That was actually my first time meeting him. It was cool meeting him, of course. He’s an icon. It was awesome just to meet him and work with him. He looked pretty good. He looked good, yeah.”
