Quarterback Colin Kaepernick clearly wants to get back into professional football.
NFL reporter Charles Robinson posted footage on Thursday of the former San Francisco 49er going through an on-field workout in Texas.
So guess which former #NFL player went through a 90-minute throwing workout on a private Houston area practice field this morning?
Colin Kaepernick.
Despite having to duck security, I was able to view the whole workout. He looked good. I’ll have a little something on it soon. pic.twitter.com/gIcbvF1iaD

Kaepernick was added to the Montreal Alouettes negotiation list in September and was previous on the Ticats list of 45 protected players.
The 30-year-old has played six seasons in the NFL but made headlines as the first player to kneel during the U.S. national anthem, a form of non-violent protest that has been adopted in various forms by athletes across North America, including the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Kaepernick has been a free agent since opting out of his contract with the 49ers in March 2017, leading to speculation that he has been blackballed by the league.
Kaepernick has thrown for 12,271 yards and 72 touchdowns with 30 interceptions and 2,300 rushing yards (6.1 yards per carry) and 13 touchdowns since San Francisco selected him in the second-round of the 2011 NFL draft.
