The NFL scheduled a workout for Colin Kaepernick to take place on Saturday afternoon. After having to change the location, Kaepernick performed the workout for NFL teams and shared the livestream for everyone to watch.

When the NFL extended the offer to Kaepernick to hold a workout, the original location was at the Atlanta Falcons' practice facility. The free-agent quarterback chose to relocate the workout due to the NFL refusing to allow media access.
Therefore, Kaepernick moved the venue to a location that required teams to travel an extra hour or so. As a result, there were fewer teams who made the trip to watch him work out at the new location.
Throughout the entire process, the NFL has been disorganized with how they put together the workout. First and foremost, the NFL never gave the 32-year-old quarterback a chance to negotiate the details of the workout.
In addition, the NFL didn't even supply wide receivers for Kaepernick until less than 24 hours before the scheduled time. Considering that, Kaepernick chose to bring his own wide receivers to catch passes from him on Saturday.
The NFL released a statement that expressed their disappointment in Kaepernick moving the location of the event. Among all of the words in the statement, the word ‘cooperatively' stands out.
The league never cooperated with Kaepernick and didn't allow him to decided the terms of the workout. Instead, they chose to force the time and location on Kaepernick and wanted him to go through with it while the NFL dictated how it was displayed.
Now, only time will tell if an NFL team is interested in Kaepernick after watching him throw on Saturday.
