Carlos Hyde: Signing Colin Kaepernick Would Show NFL Is Serious About Racial Equality

Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde believes the NFL can show its commitment to improving issues with racial inequality if a team signs Colin Kaepernick.

Hyde and Kaepernick played together on the 49ers in 2016 when the quarterback began kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial inequality and police brutality. When asked what the NFL can do to build upon its commitment, Hyde called for his former teammate to be brought back to the league.

"I think the NFL can start by signing Kap back," Hyde told reporters in a conference call Monday, per USA Today.
