Colin Kaepernick Says He Wants to Prove He Can Be QB1, Willing to Play Backup

Colin Kaepernick is looking for the opportunity to get back into the NFL and prove himself, even if it means starting as a backup.

"I know I have to find my way back in. So, if I have to come in as a backup, that's fine," Kaepernick said on I Am Athlete (via TMZ Sports).

"But that's not where I'm staying," Kaepernick added. "And when I prove that I'm a starter, I want to be able to step on the field as such. I just need that opportunity to walk through the door.
