Jim Harbaugh’s hire for the Los Angeles Chargers couId mean big things for a certain former NFL star: Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick hasn’t played since 2017 and has reportedly been aiming for an NFL comeback.

Several teams have briefly shown some interest and he has worked out for teams before, but he hasn’t been signed or come cIose to it. The door seemed to be closing, but Harbaugh’s return could change that. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio highlighted that Kaepernick’s major milestones came under Harbaugh, who also voiced his support for the quarterback during his exile.
