Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has a private workout scheduled on behalf of the league this Saturday in Atlanta. All 32 teams are invited to attend and will have the chance to interview Kaepernick.
The Falcons are not among the teams looking for a QB, however, with the workout taking place in Atlanta, they will have someone in attendance, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said after practice on Thursday that he believes Kaepernick is good enough to be playing in the league right now, as tweeted by William McFadden below.
Many feel the same way as Jones, and Kaepernick’s career stats show he’s probably a better option than many of the backup quarterbacks in the NFL currently.
Over the course of six seasons, Kaepernick has thrown for 12,271 yards, 72 touchdowns and 30 interceptions for a passer rating of 88.9. He’s rushed for an additional 2,300 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.
Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub is one of the better backups in the league, but there are plenty of other teams that could be interested in Kaepernick’s services.
