Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016 but has been vocal about wanting to return to the game.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback-turned-activist has not seen any professional football action since Jan. 1, 2017, but he has never stopped trying.
In the meantime, Kaepernick continues to build on his civil rights work, which was spurred by his decision to kneel during the National Anthem at the start of the 2016 season.
Just recently, Kaepernick and Nessa Diab appeared on CBS Mornings to promote their new children’s book “You are Free, You and Me.”
Gayle King asked the free agent QB if he’s still working out daily to play again or “make a point.”
“Both,” Kaepernick responded. “When I look at my career, it was 15 years of work and dedication before I ever stepped foot on an NFL field. To have that passion and chase it for that long, you don’t just give that up. You don’t just walk away.”

He made it clear that he “absolutely” wants everyone to know he still wants to play.
Colin Kaepernick Had An NFL Job Offer
In 2016, Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the playing of the USA’s national anthem prior to an NFL game in a protest against police brutality towards minorities, and he has never known peace since.
Once that NFL season was over, he had no clue that he would never play in the league again.
Despite everything, he had a chance to get back into the league, but not as a player.
Kaepernick had been offered to join the Los Angeles Chargers’ coaching staff, with his former coach, Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh alluded to potentially finding former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick a spot on his coaching staff for the 2024 season, but he took so long giving him an answer that he had to move on.
The San Francisco 49ers selected Kaepernick in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft, which was Harbaugh’s first year as their head coach, so their relationship is evident.
Whether he works for the team down the line will truly be up to him.
