Free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick is still hoping to return to the NFL more than three years after last playing for the San Francisco 49ers.
In an interview with Jarrett Bell of USA Today on Tuesday, Kaepernick said he has remained sharp in hopes of getting contacted by an NFL team: "My desire to play football is still there. I still train five days a week. I'm ready to go, I'm ready for a phone call, tryout, workout at any point in time. I'm still waiting on the owners and their partners to stop running from this situation.
