Colin Kaepernick's humble Jets letter offers more reason for admiration — and reminds us he's not going away

Mike Florio and Myles Simmons question if it’s been too long since Colin Kaepernick played in the NFL for him to return, as well as recall how the NFL collectively pushed him out of the league.

Colin Kaepernick will not give up, and he is not going away.

On Tuesday, his friend and rap superstar J. Cole posted to social media a letter he says Kaepernick wrote to New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas in which Kaepernick asks the quarterback-needy franchise to sign him to its practice squad.

Cole wrote that he had Kaepernick's permission to make the letter public, and got it only after convincing his friend that the public needed to see how hard Kaepernick works and how much he still wants to play in the NFL.
