Colin Kaepernick, it seems, is still ready for another shot in the NFL. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback shared a video on social media of him working out on a field on Thursday. The post is the first of its kind in a while from Kaepernick, who has essentially been backballed by the league after he first started taking a knee during the national anthem in protest. Clearly, Kaepernick still hasn’t given up on a return to the league. Kaepernick, 34, hasn’t played in the NFL since… Source link

Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs benefited from the NFL’s overtime rules on Sunday night. He still thinks the rules should be adjusted. The Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in a thrilling overtime battle on Sunday night, one that will likely go down as one of the best games ever played in the history of the NFL. Kansas City, though, ended the divisional round playoff game in overtime after winning the coin toss and scoring right away — something that many have deemed unfair. “I had a… Source link
