New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins criticized teammate Drew Brees, who said he will "will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country" in reference to the protests started by Colin Kaepernick.

Jenkins included this caption:
"As I was trying to muster up the energy and find the words to address Drew Brees's comments I recorded this video.
