He is very athletic and can prosper if trained by the right coach.

Kaepernick is coming off his own medical issues.
The Jets were reported earlier in the offseason to having interest in Kaepernick and the 49ers quarterback was reported to saying that the Jets were his preferred landing spot, but the reported got denied by both sides and nothing ever got done. He had surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in November at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.
I ve always liked Colin, Denver general manager John Elway said after those August practices.
The Broncos have the No. 31 pick, and they don’t exactly have a slew of picks after that.
Silver reported that the compensation being discussed is a second or third-round pick. After winning the Super Bowl, it’s pretty clear the Broncos have one of the best coaching staff’s in the NFL. “That’s all my focus is”.
Blaine Gabbert, who went 3-5 in place of Kaepernick, is entering the final season of a contract that calls for a $1.75 million base salary – or $11 million less than Kaepernick stood to earn if he remained on the roster April 1. Along the way, trust eroded between the hard working yet inconsistent quarterback and the team s embattled front office, as reflected by a June 2014 contract extension that included only a $12.3 signing bonus and annual escape clauses. No, Kaepernick will be more like the player who has struggled the last few seasons, who ultimately lost his job in-season in 2015. He has publicly said that he wants out, not seeming to have any desire to play for head coach Chip Kelly-in what many figured was an ideal fit for his skill set.
The 49ers hosted free-agent visits but did not reach immediate deals with running back Lance Dunbar (Dallas Cowboys) and guard Ted Larsen (Arizona Cardinals).
