Summary
Detroit remarks from Jemele Hill put Colin Kaepernick back into the NFL conversation, with Hill saying Atlanta should consider him after the Falcons fell to Cooper Rush at quarterback for Week 1.
Kaepernick, who turns 39 in November, said he still trains every day and told Hill at the Black Footwear Forum that he believes he can still play if given a chance.
Atlanta's quarterback depth became the hook for the suggestion after injuries to Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix left Rush starting; in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Pittsburgh, he went 12-of-22 for 143 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Kaepernick also said on "The View" that teams' refusal to sign him after his protest was political, extending a comeback push that comes a decade after his last professional game.
