The distressed 34-year-old general, who last played in the NFL in 2017, hosted a throw-in exhibition for scouts and team-mates who attended the Michigan Spring Soccer Match at the invitation of coach Jim Harbau. Flying into unrequited and free receivers, Kaepernick looked good, including a deep bomb that found his receiver’s hands in his last pass. Michigan football coach Jim Harbau watches former NFL general Colin Kepernick throw in the halftime of the Wolverines’ spring game. “That I can help you become a better team,” Kaepernick told WXYZ Detroit when asked what his message was to the NFL. “I can help you win games. I know that at the moment the situation will probably not allow me to get in and get into a starting role. I know I will be able to achieve it and show it very quickly. “In teams that have questions, more than anything else I would say I would like to come for training, I would love to sit down with you and discuss how I can help you become a better team. ” Kaepernick, the former key player who led the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII, has been out of the league for five years and is widely believed to have received a black ball after criticism for kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice. Although other players, such as Eric Wright, also knelt down, Kapernick was the face of the movement, which led then-President Donald Trump to call him a “bitch.” Colin KaepernickUSA TODAY Sports Harbaugh, who coached Kaepernick in San Francisco, had supported him in the past. Putting him off to the halftime of the spring race, Harbaugh essentially gave the scouts an excuse to see Kaepernick live. The exhibition was funded by Wolverines Against Racism, a university student organization. It seems unlikely at this point that any team will sign Kaepernick, but he has made it clear that he is ready, willing and able to play professional football.
