Colin Kaepernick showed off his arm strength in a highly publicized workout at a high school outside of Atlanta on Saturday, but the former 49ers quarterback reportedly didn't "blow away" any talent evaluators. 
Kaepernick showed he was "[good] enough to be on a roster, likely backup level" in the eyes of a "consensus scouting report" NFL Media's Ian Rapoport gathered, citing sources, but his colleague Mike Garafolo reported Sunday that there didn't seem to be much interest in Kaepernick. 
"He had to blow some teams away," Garafolo said Sunday on "NFL GameDay." "He didn't do that." 
Kaepernick's "velocity was real good" but his "[accuracy] and touch" were average, according to the scouting report Rapaport cited. 
Left unsaid in Garafalo and Rapaport's reporting is why Kaepernick needed to "blow some teams away," and it has little to do with his on-field ability.

    SNF reported on the tryout but were careful not to show his "slave" T-shirt. Might as well wear a shirt that says:
----I'M -- S T I L L---
----T R O U B L E ----

    Workout?
I thought it was the taping of a Copper Compression Sleeves and Pain Relief commercial.
Bret Favre was there too.

    Obviously, those evaluators are all racists.

    Today I saw another black quarterback (Jackson?) wearing a T-shirt that said, “Nobody cares. Work harder.”
Maybe that’s why he’s working.

    Looks like he hasn’t been to the Barber since 2016.
So that stopped too.

    The 49ers were 2 and 14 the last year he was their starter. That is the reason he is no longer there.

    He’s a 4th stringer trying to get into a league that only uses 3 lines.
Stick a fork in him.

    Kaepernick's "velocity was real good" but his "[accuracy] and touch" were average, according to the scouting report Rapaport cited.  He's always been that way. The only coach he performed for was Jim Harbaugh.

    The guy behind him is trying to pull his warm up jacket the rest of the way off. Special K let his arms get too fat.

    The shirt is partially right. Remove “A KINTE” and it is spot on. Miss-spelled but spot on.
