Super Bowl quarterback Colin Kaepernick last appeared in an NFL game as a member of the San Francisco 49ers back on January 1, 2017. The embattled former signal caller completed 17-of-22 passes for 215 yards with one touchdown in a 25-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Fast forward more than a half-decade, and Kaepernick remains out of the NFL after he started the now-famous national anthem protests during the summer of 2016.

By now, it’s well known what has happened with Kaepernick since he last suited up in an NFL game. That included the former second-round pick settling out of court after suing the league and its teams for collusion.

Having just recently published a video of himself looking pretty good in throwing passes to Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett, Kaepernick’s career could be headed in a shocking direction.

Speaking to the media after the trade of star quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos became official on Wednesday, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll indicated that Colin Kaepernick deserves another shot in the NFL. While Carroll stopped short of saying it would be with the Seahawks, this is a rather interesting development.
