Former Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson discussed his role in the much-publicized Colin Kaepernick workout during an interview with Kristine Leahy.
Jackson pointed out the NFL asked him to lead the workout and that he was "surprised" when he heard the timing and location were moved. While Kaepernick's representatives apparently told him they would still like it if he was involved, he cited the distance to the new location and an "obligation" to the NFL when explaining why he didn't ultimately participate.
"I felt a responsibility and obligation to the National Football League because they're the ones who asked me to do it," Jackson explained.
