Kaepernick to hold throwing exhibition during halftime of Michigan spring game

Free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick will hold an exhibition throwing event with multiple draft-eligible prospects during halftime of Michigan's spring game on Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Any NFL club personnel in attendance are allowed to watch the throwing session, though it's unclear which NFL teams will be at the event.

Kaepernick, 34, continued to work out during his prolonged absence from the league this offseason. He's held several practice sessions lately, including one with Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll recently said Kaepernick reached out to him, telling Carroll he'd like another shot in pro football.

Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL since 2016. He was the first NFL player to kneel during national anthems to protest police brutality and racial inequality in the United States.
