Former Super Bowl appearer and modern day NFL disappearer Colin Kaepernick is suddenly back in the limelight.
The NFL is allowing teams to come watch Kaepernick go through a full workout and have the chance to interview him on this Saturday. Why this Saturday? Because the teams wanted it to be next weekend so they could prepare, and the NFL told them no it had to be this Saturday.
So is this a real tryout? NFL teams have only a handful of days to decide if a) they want to look at Kap; b) they have someone available to see Kap; and c) even if they want to look at Kap, go to see Kap, they then only have a short amount of time to decide to sign him lest someone beat them to the punch.
While this is a likely publicity stunt, it may cause some interest in Kap. The NFL has seen a rash of QB injuries, so a team could do worse than taking a shot on a 32-year-old QB who has less than average miles given he’s had three years off.
If you’re a team like Denver, why wouldn’t you?
