On Sunday afternoon, Colin Kaepernick started an NFL game for the first time in almost a year. His lack of play hasn’t kept him out of the spotlight, as Kaerpernick’s national anthem protest has become a countrywide storyline for the last two months.

In his first start of the season, Kaepernick put in an underwhelming performance, completing 13 of 29 passes for one touchdown and running eight times for 66 yards in a 45-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
