Colin Kaepernick will be working out for some NFL teams on Saturday, but the NFL will not be disclosing any of the personnel executives and coaches that will be in attendance, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Thus far, the Falcons, Bengals, Cowboys, Broncos, Lions, Dolphins, Patriots, Giants, Jets, and Buccaneers have all been mentioned as potential teams who could send representatives to watch Kaepernick this weekend (check out this list compiled by Chris Cwik of Yahoo Sports).
Kaepernick has been out of the league since 2016, when he appeared in 12 games with 11 starts while playing for the San Francisco 49ers. That season, he threw for 2,241 yards, 16 touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 59.2 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 90.7.
The 32-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Nevada, was originally selected by the 49ers in the second round (36th pick overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft.
He took over as San Francisco's starting quarterback midway through 2012, making seven starts and finishing with 1,814 yards, 10 touchdowns and three picks while completing 62.4 percent of his throws and registering a passer rating of 98.3, leading the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance in the process.
However, from 2013 moving forward, Kaepernick's production began to decline, and by 2015, he had lost his starting job after totaling just 1,615 yards, six touchdowns and five picks through nine games and eight starts.
Of course, Kaepernick's lack of production is hardly the only reason he has been at odds with the NFL, as his standing with the league took a hit when he began kneeling for the national anthem in 2016.
Teams have shied away from Kaepernick ever since, but it appears he could be inching his way toward a return in 2019.
