Colin Kaepernick made a direct pitch to NFL teams in need of a quarterback on Saturday:

"I can help you win games."

The six-year NFL veteran who hasn't played in the league since 2016 was invited by his old coach Jim Harbaugh to put on a throwing exhibition at Michigan Stadium. With NFL scouts in attendance, Kaepernick showcased his arm at halftime of Michigan's spring game. Afterward, he and Harbaugh shared a hug.
