Scot McCloughan says Kaepernick is a starter, does not ‘respect’ his actions during anthem
Former Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan appeared on 106.7 The Fan’s Grant and Danny on Tuesday afternoon, discussing topics ranging from Washington running back Matt Jones to the Colin Kaepernick situation.
While no longer a part of the Redskins front office, McCloughan continues to stick up for Jones, who began last season as Washington’s starting running back but fell down the pecking order due to injury and struggles with ball security.
“He’s gonna be a good player, I promise you,” McCloughan said of Jones. “And he was a good player. His rookie year, I was talking to teams the other day, and they said, ‘He killed us.’”
