Here’s how Kaepernick returned to ‘Madden’ even without an NFL contract

Video game enthusiasts didn’t have the chance to play as Colin Kaepernick in the three most recent editions of EA Sports’ Madden NFL franchise.

This year Kaepernick returns to the game for Madden 21 after negotiating the rights to his likeness with the video game company, according to The Undefeated’s Aaron Dodson.

EA Sports has not included the former 4. . .

The company used “data-driven simulations that took his ongoing free agency into account” in determining his rating, according to Dodson’s report.
