Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has released a video highlighting his workout in Atlanta more than a week ago.
In the video, Kaepernick is seen throwing to several receivers in an attempt to show that he still has the arm talent.
The 31-year-old hasn’t played a game since early 2017 and later sued the NFL for colluding to keep him from playing in the league. He and a former teammate, Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid, settled with the NFL for an undisclosed amount.
Aside from taking the 49ers to a Super Bowl, Kaepernick is perhaps best known for his protests during the playing of the national anthem. He and other players around the league drew considerable backlash from fans, who threatened to stop watching games and posted videos of themselves burning their NFL merchandise.
Earlier in November, he worked out in Georgia in front of the media and about eight NFL teams after canceling his NFL-hosted workout hours before it was slated to start.
Kaepernick then said that he’s been training every day for the past three years and called on the league and commissioner Roger Goodell to “stop running.”
The league said it won’t affect his future in the NFL. “Colin’s decision has no effect on his status in the League. He remains an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with any club,” the NFL said in a statement.
But it added that 25 teams were present for the originally scheduled workout.
