RIVERDALE, Ga. — Colin Kaepernick’s long journey from Super Bowl quarterback to N.F.L. exile to media machine made a pit stop at Charles R. Drew High School south of Atlanta on Saturday.
There, in shorts and a black tank top, the former San Francisco 49ers star zipped passes to four receivers running routes on the football field. Eight N.F.L. scouts looked on, one of them later calling the performance “impressive.” As the sun faded and the temperature dropped, a couple hundred people stood along a chain-link fence behind one end zone and cheered.
“Stay focused, man! We believe in you!” one fan yelled.
