Kaepernick Remains Committed to NFL Comeback Training

Colin Kaepernick, who has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season following his national anthem protest against racial injustice, continues to train intensely in hopes of a league comeback, according to his partner Nessa Diab. Diab has repeatedly stated that Kaepernick is training 'all day, every day,' emphasizing that 'nothing has changed' regarding his commitment. Kaepernick believes he was blackballed by NFL teams due to his activism, though the league denies this. He last worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 and has written directly to teams, including the New York Jets, seeking tryouts, but has not received offers to join a roster. While he was offered a coaching position with the Los Angeles Chargers, he declined, holding out hope for a playing opportunity. Despite nearly a decade away from the game, Kaepernick remains determined to resume his football career, with supporters and critics continuing to debate his legacy and prospects.
