It wasn't that long ago that legendary kneeler and not-so-legendary NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was complaining that the National Football League is the functional equivalent of a modern slave trading house:

But—surprise! or maybe not so surprising, I dunno—Kap also really wants to get back into the NFL:

The disgraced former 49ers quarterback hasn't played in the NFL in several seasons, and he's never come too close to lacing up his cleats again.

However, he's still trying to get on a roster.

He posted a workout video Thursday, and in response, Adam Scehfter tweeted that a source told him Kaep is "in the best shape of his life. He wants to play. He's ready play. He would be a great fit for teams with QB vacancies to fill who want to win a Super Bowl."

I mean, heck, who can blame him? Who among us hasn't looked at a major U.S. cultural and economic institution, declared it to be in the business of human slave trading, and then said, "Man, I want a piece of that!"

I mean, the dude is over here putting out some of the slickest promo videos imaginable.

How could a team turn this down?

My man has some serious Uncle Rico energy going on here:

How much you wanna bet Kap could throw a football over them mountains??
