After months of silence, Colin Kaepernick is finally speaking to the media about his intentions for the upcoming season. On Sunday, Kaepernick spoke
candidly to CBS Sports Jason La Canfora in an off-camera interview and revealed that he’s been working out every day for six hours a day and is looking to play any place where he’s given an opportunity

Impossible not to notice what kind of shape @Kaepernick7 is in. Working out 6-plus hours a day. Throwing hundreds of passes daily…

Kaepernick also said that he’s been working out and has reached out to several teams about a backup role but has not gotten any offers so far.
As much as he is dedicating himself to playing again – and Colin told me he won't give up on that dream – he never appeared angry…

Kaepernick seemed almost serene as we talking about his journey. He was always calm and thoughtful discussing the situation…

Bottom line – I can assure you that @Kaepernick7 would be willing to work out any place, any time, for any NFL team. He is not quitting

Despite several reports online, La Canfora did not ask Kaepernick whether he would sit or stand during anthem.
Standing for Anthem wasn't something that I spoke to Colin about sat. I relayed what had been reported about him standing in the future…

Colin would have to address any future demonstrations. I didn't ask him if he would sit or stand. Our chat primarily about his will to play

I know @Kaepernick7 is fully committed to playing football and helping those in need. What he would do during the Anthem I do not know
