SANTA CLARA — Eric Reid is the 49ers’ pipeline to Colin Kaepernick. But even Reid, the 49ers’ fifth-year safety, doesn’t know when or if Kaepernick will come out and discuss the surge of national anthem protests throughout the NFL.
“I’m not sure. He hasn’t given me an answer on that,” Reid said Wednesday. “But I’m hoping he says something.”
Truth is, Kaepernick said it all last season, weekly voicing his frustration and shedding light about America’s societal injustices and police misconduct.
