Hue Jackson got the call from the league office on Thursday morning. He wasn’t expecting it, but it didn’t take long for him to accept, because the idea of running Colin Kaepernick’s workout for NFL scouts on Saturday got his juices flowing right away.
For the ex-Browns and Raiders coach, who has been doing some media work since his time in Cleveland came to an end, it is a chance to get back on the grass with football players again, and the chance to help a guy he’s long liked from afar.
