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.

Amazing that the NFL even caved enough to let him have his own private tryout. Even more amazing is that he didn’t show up for it. As my better half said, there were 12 boxes that Kap had to check off, and he only got 2 of the 12 checked. Of course, he will blame the NFL for how this turned out. What a loser.
Nike is a pretty big dope.
He was an average qb at best when he was let go... nobody should expect him to be any better 3 years later when he hasn’t played a game since.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more said about his fake accent. Sounds like a white southern redneck preteen trying to sound black, which isn’t easy for a kid from a white family who grew up in Wisconsin and California.
Spoiled brat just wanted more publicity and the msm fell for it - again.
He’s so dumb, he doesn’t know “Roots” was fiction.
I posted pictures back when of him kneeling, aka being a lazy sob, during the anthem years before he was told to stand and his muzzy girlfriend decided for him to make it a statement. The msm fell for that bs just like they fell for this stunt.
Great scam if you can get away with it, get paid an star salary by the league for sitting at home every season.
It IS a great scam and always has been. The patsy NFL caved to his lawsuit, and they caved again by giving him an opportunity for a Kap-only tryout. Pretty soon they will cave again to some other demand he makes.
Head Case.
Posers rarely impress.
Yes, sounds totally phony. He’s insulting people’s intelligence.
