Colin Kaepernick is returning to football–virtually. Madden NFL 21 announced Tuesday that the free-agent quarterback will return to the video game for the time since 2016.
"Colin Kaepernick is one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback. The team at EA SPORTS, along with millions of Madden NFL fans, want to see him back in our game," Madden NFL 21 said in a statement.
"Knowing that our EA SPORTS experiences are platforms for players to create, we want to make Madden NFL a place that reflects Colin’s position and talent, rates him as a starting QB, and empowers our fans to express their hopes for the future of football.
