Nearly a decade after his 2012 breakout that led the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII, Colin Kaepernick still trains daily, hoping to convince a single NFL owner to give him another shot.

Despite interest from figures like Ravens coach John Harbaugh and recent remarks to Jemele Hill, no team has signed him.
