Kaepernick apparent;y impressed one NFL team exec who said his arm talent was “elite” but other scouts weren’t as dazzled by Kaep’s workout but agreed that he was good enough to be on a roster.
After today’s workout in Atlanta, an NFL executive at Colin Kaepernick’s throwing session said his arm talent is “elite” and is the same as when he came out of college. He said that Kaepernick threw the ball well.

Unfortunately for Kaep no teams have called or reached out to him to set up another workout or to express interest in signing him.

The fact that the NFL tried to spark interest in Kaepernick last week, and could not, and that his reps made sure that video of the workout was delivered to every team, are just the latest signs that the chances are bleak that a team will step forward and sign him.
Some sources speculated that there had been teams interested in making a move with Kaepernick, and could in the weeks after his workout. But nothing has materialized, and nothing is expected to at this time.
Kaepernick’s team is blaming the NFL for what happened in Atlanta and are considering holding a second workout in March at the NFL owners meeting.
