After former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick held a workout on Saturday ostensibly to impress NFL teams so he would be hired to play for them, sports analysts from ESPN and CBS speculated that Kaepernick shouldn’t wait by his phone — no one is going to call him.

As Cleveland.com reported, speaking on Monday’s edition of “Golic and Wingo,” ESPN’s Mike Golic opined, “Does Colin Kaepernick really want to play football? … As much as everybody’s applauding you for taking over the narrative, you cost yourself. If your goal was to play football, in my opinion, you cost yourself by not performing in front of 25 teams. Congratulations, you controlled the narrative and then you basically said the NFL should stop running scared afterward. And I don’t think there is a team out there that is going to bring you in and sign you.”
