Jim Harbaugh praises Kaepernick in TIME ‘top 100’ piece

What do Donald Trump, Vladamir Putin, Steve Bannon and Colin Kaepernick have in common? They all landed on Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Kaepernick was the subject of a Time cover last year after his national anthem protests, which spotlighted police brutality and other issues of racial inequality, created a firestorm of controversy from coast to coast.

The former 49ers quarterback became a free agent in March and has yet to find a suitor. That's led to accusations by some that he is being blackballed by NFL teams.
