Colin Kaepernick, now 36, remains determined to return to the NFL, eight years after his last game. He continues to train and believes he can significantly contribute to a team and help win a championship. Kaepernick's career was notably marked by his protests against racial injustice and police brutality, which involved kneeling during the national anthem and led to widespread controversy. Despite workouts with teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and support from figures such as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, he has not been signed. Kaepernick settled a collusion grievance with the NFL in 2019 but still feels his return is possible if given the opportunity by a team owner. Critics argue that his age and long absence from the game make a comeback unlikely.
