Steve Young ‘surprised’ Colin Kaepernick is still a free agent

Steve Young has a very different take on Colin Kaepernick’s ongoing free agency than Joe Montana.

The 49ers legend talked about Kaepernick with KNBR’s Murph & Mac while attending the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. Unlike Montana, Young doesn’t believe Kaepernick remains unsigned because of his skill level.

“I’m surprised, even with the situation last year with the kneel-down during the national anthem, that people can’t see through that and see, here’s a good player that wants to play and is not toxic in the locker room,” Young said of the former 49ers quarterback.
