On the surface, the idea that the Kansas City Chiefs would bother sending any representative at all to watch Colin Kaepernick work out for potential employment makes little sense.
The Chiefs already boast the NFL’s best quarterback under center in Patrick Mahomes and they’re well-stocked in the backup role—more than they’ve been in years, due to the presence of veterans Chad Henne and Matt Moore. Even then, Kyle Shurmur is also on the roster, albeit the practice squad, as a developmental arm who beat out Chase Litton in the preseason.
