The Rock Says Colin Kaepernick Unlikely to Join XFL After Extending Invite to QB

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick will likely not be joining the XFL.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said he met with Kaepernick and his agents before extending him an invite to play in the XFL, which he owns. However, he doesn't think the former San Francisco 49ers signal-caller will join the league.

"Good meeting, looked to create opportunity for him but I don't think it'll happen," Johnson wrote in response to an Instagram post. "We'll see."
