Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who in more recent years has been known for social activism and his stance on racial injustice, will be back on the football field this weekend.
Kaepernick is the honorary captain of Michigan’s spring football game on Saturday at Michigan Stadium, the program announced Wednesday on Twitter.
Three photos were included in the post, one of Kaepernick holding a No. 7 Michigan jersey with his name, another of him posing with returning starting quarterback Cade McNamara, and another of him speaking to the team.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh coached Kaepernick at the San Francisco 49ers during his coaching tenure, 2011-2014.
