Colin Kaepernick has decided that he would like to return to sporting competition and thinks that there are two sports he could get a medal in if he went to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Kaepernick is a civil rights activist and former NFL quarterback and he thinks he could help the USA win some medals at their home Olympics in four year's time.
The 36-year-old is no longer active in the NFL but he does speak publicly occasionally and thinks that he would be able to get a medal in either flag football or javelin in 2028.
The Wisconsin native's response ignited a positive reaction from his wife Nessa as she remarked: "Vibes!!!!! I love this!!!!", " Let's goooooo", alongside six fire emojis in the post's comments section shared by "Overtime" on Instagram.
Fans are not sure
Fans were quick to respond and the feelings were very mixed, with some choosing to use Kaepernick's 2016 kneeling controversy as a reason for him not to take part in the Olympics.
He has now been away from the game for eight years and with the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson likely to be in the frame for flag football in 2028. As for the javelin, who knows.
In the meantime, Kaepernick also explained the violent nature of football as he answered whether a 10k run or an NFL game is tougher to compete.
"What's more tough, an NFL game or a 10k marathon", asked the "Overtime" video host, to which the former #7 quarterback explained: "Ooh, NFL game. Not only do you have the physical strain on your body, you just have the violence of football, when you're getting hit and you also have the mental aspect that you have to be sharp for in the midst of chaos."
