Summary

Last week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he "encourages" an NFL team to sign Colin Kaepernick. This came after Goodell had expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement and said players have the right to peacefully protest. Now, many fans are wondering if an NFL team might actually sign Kaepernick, who that team would be, and how ready he would be to play. The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue attended Kaepernick’s workout for NFL scouts last November, and we are re-airing that episode today. It originally aired on November 18th, 2019.
