Shannon Sharpe agrees that Colin Kaepernick is this generation’s Muhammad Ali

Colin Kaepernick has been in the news a lot lately as he remains unsigned and available on the free-agent market. We’ve seen guys like Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Fitzpatrick find jobs, but Kaepernick is still waiting.

Many believe this is due to his national anthem protest last year, when he took a knee for what he believes in. Dr. Harry Edwards went as far as to say he’s this generation’s Muhammad Ali, and on Friday’s “Undisputed,” Shannon Sharpe shared his thoughts.

"I’ve said this, and I do agree because I believe in 15, 20, 50 years from now, history will look fondly upon Colin Kaepernick and the stance that he took for the betterment of minorities.
