Saquon Barkley supports Colin Kaepernick, and if his fans have a problem with that, then the New York Giants running back doesn’t care.
Speaking to the New York Daily News, Barkely said Monday he isn’t afraid to “speak his mind.” The 22-year-old retweeted Kaepernick’s recent Nike commercial and told the newspaper he respects the quarterback for staying ready for a possible NFL opportunity.
Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2016 season.
He filed a grievance against the NFL, alleging owners were colluding to keep him out of the league over his political stances, and later settled that suit for an undisclosed amount.
