ESPN’s Adam Schefter: “Absolutely zero” interest in Colin Kaepernick from any NFL team

The Colin Kaepernick saga has taken another turn.

Despite his highly-publicized workout (though that didn’t go down without some controversy of its own) last week that several NFL representatives attended, the former NFL quarterback has reportedly drawn no serious interest from anyone looking for additional help as the season begins to head into the home stretch.

This comes despite Kaepernick’s legal representation saying there was interest from at least two different teams earlier this week.

“Zero. Absolutely zero. The workout last week did absolutely nothing to enhance the chances that Colin Kaepernick is going to wind up with another team,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Sunday on SportsCenter. “There hasn’t been a team that has requested a workout. There hasn’t been a team that has requested a visit. There hasn’t been a team that has expressed interest in signing him.”

“So, despite the fact that one week ago we saw Colin Kaepernick work out at the high school down in the Atlanta area, it has not translated into any results, and though the league wanted to try to help out, at least said it was trying to help out, nothing’s come of it. Colin Kaepernick’s wait continues and it looks like it’s going to be continuing for a very, very, very long time.”

The Detroit Lions were among the teams to have representation at his workout, which took place at an Atlanta area high school in hopes of drawing interest for an NFL comeback. He hasn’t played professionally since 2016 with the San Francisco 49ers.
