2:42 PM PT -- Colin's workout appears to have just finished -- about an hour and a half after it got started. He's made his way over to a gate where it looks like he's signing autographs as the media looks on from afar.
2:00 PM PT -- The NFL just released a statement saying that Colin actually MISSED his scheduled workout, which seems to imply that whatever he's doing right now is NOT NFL sponsored.
The league goes on to say that despite its best efforts to cooperate with him and his team's ever-changing requests ... he pulled out last minute and is now going rogue on the plan.

I'm not saying I like him or really have any compassion for him, and certainly don't know him.
But based on everything I've heard and seen of this guy, he's mentally ill, diagnosably so. It's either anxiety symptoms or grandiosity symptoms that lead to this kind of repeated behavior.
If reports are true, this should be the last we hear of him in any serious manner. There will be stories as he trails off into complete forgotten-hood, but again, if reports are true, he's done and probably knew it before today. Did the NFL know he would torpedo himself and was this 'workout' a ploy to bring it all to a head?' ... seems like it might have been. It had appearances of that when the 'workout' was announced.
That's all based on very little evidence ... but since all we've got is the evidence we've got -> that's what I read from it looking back over the past years.
If so, good riddance from the public eye and especially political discussion, and I wish him peace and happiness and out of my sight.
The guy is a serious douche bag

Editor’s note: The NFL put out the following statement Saturday afternoon after Colin Kaepernick’s workout was moved from the Atlanta Falcons’ training facility to a new location.
We are disappointed that Colin did not appear for his workout. He informed us of that decision at 2:30 p.m. today along with the public.
Today’s session was designed to give Colin what he has consistently said he wants — an opportunity to show his football readiness and desire to return to the NFL. Twenty-five (25) clubs were present for the workout, and all 32 clubs, their head coaches, general managers, and other personnel executives would have received video footage of the interview and workout, shot by the Atlanta Falcons video crew. It is important to note the following:
» As stated above, more than three-fourths of NFL clubs were present for today’s workout.
» The NFL made considerable effort to work cooperatively with Colin’s representatives. We invited his agent to suggest questions for the interview. Yesterday, when Colin’s representatives said he wanted to bring his own receivers to the workout, we agreed to the request. In addition, Coach Hue Jackson discussed with Colin’s agent what drills would be run at the workout so that Colin would know what would be expected of him.
» Last night, when Nike, with Colin’s approval, requested to shoot an ad featuring Colin and mentioning all the NFL teams present at the workout, we agreed to the request.
» On Wednesday, we sent Colin’s representatives a standard liability waiver based on the waiver used by National Invitational Camp at all NFL Combines and by NFL clubs when trying out free agent players. At noon today, Colin’s representatives sent a completely rewritten and insufficient waiver.
» We heard for the first time last night, around the same time we heard from Nike, that Colin wanted to bring his own video crew. We heard for the first time this afternoon that Colin wanted to open the event to all media.
» We agreed to have Colin’s representatives on the field while the workout was being conducted and to allow them to see how it was being recorded. We did so even though we have been clear from the beginning that this is private workout. As is typical with NFL Combines, one video crew was prepared to shoot and distribute video of the interview and workout. We confirmed with Colin’s representatives that they would receive both the video that would be sent to all 32 clubs as well as the raw footage from the entire event, which is unprecedented.
The location Colin selected is more than an hour away from Flowery Branch.
We are grateful to the Falcons, who made available the club’s first-class facility, along with athletic training, equipment, and communications staff to ensure that today’s workout would occur under ideal conditions, to coaches Hue Jackson and Joe Philbin, who were prepared to run a workout that would allow Colin to demonstrate his skill level, and to Jeff Foster and the Combine staff for arranging for other players to participate and for managing the logistics of the workout.
Colin’s decision has no effect on his status in the League. He remains an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with any club.
Someone posted this video of him on youtube:
You have to advance it to about the 1:38:00 mark before any action. Even then, it isnt much. Doesnt look like much of a crowd. Only a few supporters.

Stupid NFL brass. They should’ve known it was a setup to begin with.
Remember when with the 49ers he used to kiss his biceps? A good QB needs a good brain between the ears. Kraps grey matter is a serious liability.
Obama has come out with another warning about the radicals. The polling numbers have to be horrendous
100%
Yeah maybe it’s not mental illness - maybe he’s just very dumb.
Chiefs were there? NO WAY. We don’t need or want him.
How can he do that, when about 70 per cent of football players are of his same ‘persuasion’?
“...this all was set up to film a commercial for Nike.”
By golly, I bet you’re right.
There are a number of quarterbacks with elite arms who do not possess elite judgement, footwork, situational awareness, height, attitude/leadership, or simply the ability to not stare at your target before throwing. An elite NFL qb needs to be elite in most or all of these areas:
