Colin Kaepernick throws passes for 40 minutes at workout, urges NFL to 'stop running'

RIVERDALE, Ga. -- Free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who completed a 40-minute workout in front of representatives from eight NFL teams, said he's ready for another opportunity and wants the league to "stop running'' from him.

Kaepernick saluted about 250 fans then addressed the media after his workout, which was moved from the Atlanta Falcons' facility to Charles R. Drew High School. Kaepernick, who once quarterbacked the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl, took a stand against police brutality and social injustice by kneeling during the national anthem and has been out of football since 2016.
