Kaepernick – MDHQ http://www.mockdrafthq.com Updated Mock Drafts, Prospect Rankings, Scouting Reports Thu, 28 Nov 2019 02:55:04 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Denver Broncos Fans Ask Team to Sign QB Colin Kaepernick http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2019/11/denver-broncos-fans-ask-team-to-sign-qb-colin-kaepernick.html Thu, 28 Nov 2019 02:54:29 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=11018 The Broncos fanbase has had enough. After getting beat down 20-3 by the Buffalo Bills some fans have taken to twitter to tell the team exactly how they feel. They want Colin Kaepernick.

Kaepernick made the news last week after having a open workout streamed on Youtube for all 32 teams to attend and view at their convenience. He looked in good shape and still had the strong arm that made him famous back in the days when the 49ers were on the cusp of a Super Bowl victory. We all know the Broncos have attempted to trade for Colin in the past, will they sign him now?

Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.

]]> The Patriots Are Looking to Sign Colin Kaepernick Soon [Rumor] http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2019/02/the-patriots-are-looking-to-sign-colin-kaepernick-soon-rumor.html Sun, 17 Feb 2019 19:58:18 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=10633 A weird thing happened on Friday. I was watching First Things First with Cris Carter and the topic was the Patriots options after Tom Brady. Cris and Nick Wright debated for a minute about options such as Nick Foles and then Cris calmly threw out this phrase, “What about Kap?”

Why would Cris throw out the name of a player that hasn’t thrown a pass in three years? Those in the know understand that Cris doesn’t just throw these things out. He is well liked and has a lot of direct sources behind the scenes.

Within hours Kap and the NFL settled the collusion case. That let me know all I need to know. The Patriots are looking at Kap.

ESPN is also reporting it:

…within the next two weeks that somebody is going to step up and do the right thing, and you want me to predict who?” Geragos goes on to say, “Besides the Panthers, it would not surprise me if [Patriots Owner] Bob Kraft makes a move.

]]> Nike’s Kaepernick Move Called the Most Gangster Marketing Move | @profgalloway http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2018/09/nikes-kaepernick-move-called-the-most-gangster-marketing-move-profgalloway.html Thu, 06 Sep 2018 06:45:57 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=10445 Scott Galloway aka Prof G put out a brilliant video that sums up the business behind the Kaepernick-Nike ad campaign.

Basically it can be summed up like this: Nike did the math.

This move is effectively a arbitrage of older, conservative customers for younger, “urban” customers. Younger customers will not only will live longer & buy more product but this campaign will also resonate a deep emotional connection.

All I know is I’ve been wearing Nike head to toe all week. Should I break out the Kap jersey tomorrow? Decisions, decisions…

Anyways, video below:

]]> First Look at Kaepernick’s Nike Commercial http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2018/09/first-look-at-kaepernicks-nike-commercial.html Thu, 06 Sep 2018 06:26:40 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=10443 Nike and Colin Kaepernick drop the new commercial for the 30th anniversary of “Just Do It.”

]]> Colin Kaepernick is the New Face of NIKE http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2018/09/colin-kaepernick-is-the-new-face-of-nike.html Tue, 04 Sep 2018 01:45:05 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=10438 Wow, just wow. No other words can really explain my thoughts as I got the text message from one of my buddies.

NIKE announced today that the new face of their brand is non other than former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick.

It seems like every time we hear Kap’s name it is due to some sort of “controversy.” Words are that the NFL may or may have not blacklisted him for doing a season long protest of police brutality during the National Anthem.

Two years later the biggest American sportswear brand makes him the face of their brand. There is something to be said for being on the right side of history.

Kap risked it all and while this is a “W” in the short term, there is still a long road ahead of him. Now that he is with NIKE, the resources are there to really make changes in how we all engage with the athletes and sports we all love.

Just do it?

I think they just did it.
