Colin Kaepernick has become a controversial figure in recent weeks, but his support has grown.
After the San Francisco 49ers quarterback sat down during the national anthem in Week 3 of the preseason, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane joined him in Week 4.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com provided a look at the fifth-year player on the bench:

Since then, Kaepernick has contacted his rival on the field to thank him for the support.
