Bill Belichick deflects questions on Colin Kaepernick workout

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has just one thing on his mind. And it’s clearly not Colin Kaepernick.

The NFL announced the Patriots will be one of the team’s attending the free agent quarterback’s workout in Atlanta on Saturday. Belichick has his eyes set on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

“I don’t really have any comment on that,” Belichick said. “We’re trying to get ready for the Eagles. That’s where my focus is.”

Belichick did not appear the slightest bit intrigued about how Kaepernick, who hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016, will look either.

“I’m really focused on trying to beat the Eagles,” Belichick said. “That intrigues me a lot right there, is trying to get our team as well prepared as possible to play a good football team that’s playing very well that, obviously we didn’t do very well against the last time we played them in a competitive situation. So, that’s really what I’m focused the most on.”

Belichick did not get into who the Patriots will be sending to Atlanta either. Earlier this week, he said Kaepernick’s workout was a question for Nick Caserio, the Patriots Director of Player Personnel.

“Like I said, I’m really focused on the Eagle game,” Belichick said. “We have a personnel department. Those are the kind of things they do.”

The Patriots (8-1) will travel to Lincoln Financial Field to face the Philadelphia Eagles (5-4) on Sunday.
