Colin Kaepernick has been fighting against racism and police brutality since 2016. He hasn't played in the NFL since that season, but that hasn't stopped him from continuing to peacefully protest.

Kaepernick is so much more than just a football player. He's an activist and the story of how he became the person he is today is being told in a 6-episode series on Netflix titled 'Colin in Black and White.

He would grow up to play in the Super Bowl and realize you never stop fighting for your dreams.

She would grow up to tell stories that matter to millions.

The series will focus on Kaepernick's high school years and the experiences that led him to be the activist and person he is today.

This project has been a joy to work on for the last year with @StarrburyMike. I’ve long been fascinated by how folks become who they are. The steps we all take to get to ourselves. When it comes to @Kaepernick7, that story tracks the making of a singular American icon. #imwithkap https://t.co/x5wKf1m4nG

We, along with many others, are looking forward to watching this and learning more about Kaepernick. In the meantime, the sports world is also hoping that an NFL team will sign him, which would be a long time coming to say the least.

Now that Cam is signed...I still believe the top 3 teams that should call Kap are
1) Tenn
2) Pitt
3) Seattle

All 3 contenders, none have a proven backup.
