Colin Kaepernick makes latest NFL comeback attempt.
Pittman High alum and former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is once again trying to make a comeback. J Cole, a friend of Kaepernick, released on Twitter a letter that Kaepernick sent to New York Jets owner Joe Douglas, asking to join the team's practice squad due to their depth issues at quarterback. Kaepernick writes that he believes in the current starter, Zach Wilson, and is not there to take his job. Instead, he wants to help the defense prepare for their opponents each week and still thinks he's in great shape.
