Colin Kaepernick has made a massive announcement amid his plans to return to the NFL.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback has effectively been blackballed from the league but hasn’t given up on his desire to make a comeback despite being away from the game since 2017.
Kap was spotted training in the summer and may have a coaching job waiting for him. Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is keen on adding him to his staff, though not before the end of the current season.
But while he continues to work on getting back on the field, the player-turned-activist is engaged in plenty of other ventures.
The 36-year-old is the founder of the Know Your Rights non-profit organization, which recently held its 13th camp, according to his Instagram story. The camp, where he speaks to kids, was held in Philadelphia this time around.
What Is Colin Kaepernick’s Major Announcement?
Kaepernick also owns a publishing company called Kaepernick Publishing. He recently announced the upcoming release of a new memoir called “Dear Dad.’ The book, written by Jay Patton, details her life growing up with a parent in prison.

“As far back as nine-year-old Jay Jay Patton can remember, her dad, Antoine has been in prison,” it reads.
“Growing up in Buffalo, New York with her mom and younger brother, she’s only been to visit him twice. Instead, the two have sent each other numerous letters — Jay Jay’s letters can take weeks or months to reach her dad, and some never even get delivered. What’s it going to be like having Dad home?”

Colin Kaepernick is back….hoping to get a shot in the National Football League.
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is still eyeing a return to the league in 2024. It has been nearly a decade since the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback last suited up during the 2016 season.
“We’re still training, still pushing,” Kaepernick recently told Sky Sports when asked if he still wants to play in the NFL. “So, hopefully. We’ve just got to get one of these team owners to open up.”
Kaepernick also made it clear that he can still help a team win a championship upon his return.
“I mean, it’s something I’ve trained my whole life for,” Kaepernick said. “So to be able to step back on the field would be a major moment, a major accomplishment for me. Also, I think it’s something that I could bring a lot to a team and help them win a championship.”
It seems everybody has finally had enough of Colin Kaepernick trying to make a comeback, which led to him being blasted in the comment section:

The 36-year-old, who hasn’t played for eight years, played for six seasons for the 49ers.
He went worldwide when he kneeled down during the National Anthem back in 2016 at the beginning of league games in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the United States.
Taking a knee during the National Anthem spread like wildfire, and many athletes would also start doing it.
All of the bad press likely led to him being blackballed from the league.
Kaepernick played twelve games for the 2016 NFL season and ended the season with 2,241 passing yards, sixteen passing touchdowns, four interceptions, and 468 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, per ESPN.
Colin Kaepernick Was Destined For Stardom Coming out of College
The former quarterback played for the Nevada Wolf Pack during his college days, when he was announced as the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Offensive Player of the Year twice in his NCAA career.
Among his accomplishments was Colin Kaepernick becoming the only player in NCAA Division I history to amass 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards.
The 49ers picked him in the NFL Draft in 2011 following his NCAA career.
He started out as a backup to Alex Smith, but once he suffered a concussion, Kaepernick would get his shot and never lose it.
He would soon lead the team towards its first Super Bowl since 1994, which resulted in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
