Artist J. Cole on Tuesday posted a letter on social media that former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick sent to the New York Jets following Aaron Rodgers’ injury.
J. Cole wrote in his caption that Kaepernick initially was reluctant to let the letter be shared before eventually being convinced to agree. Kaepernick did not mention taking over Wilson's job as starter, rather saying he'd be"honored and extremely grateful" to lead the practice squad.
"Worst case scenario, you see what I have to offer and you're not that impressed. Best case scenario, you realize you have a real weapon at your disposal in the event you ever need to use it," Kaepernick wrote in the letter."In either of these scenarios, I would be committed to getting your defense ready week in and week out, all season long, and I would wear that responsibility like a badge of honor.
