If Colin Kaepernick wants to put some tape together for an NFL return, there's one league open to giving him that platform -- 'cause UFL exec Doug Whaley says if the quarterback came calling, they'd listen.
Whaley -- the UFL's senior vice president of player personnel -- spoke with TMZ Sports this week ... right ahead of the 2025-26 NFL season, which will mark nearly nine years since Kaepernick last played in the league.

The UFL (United Football League) has built a reputation for giving players and coaches a platform to develop their way to the NFL.
