Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned but is staying ready for a second chance in the NFL.

In a rare video, Colin Kaepernick was shown working out and throwing the football, staying prepared for a shot in the NFL.
Kaepernick and his trainer have expressed his desire to continue playing, but there has not been video of his workouts before.
With free agency underway, there have not been any reports about Kaepernick potentially landing a job.

For the second straight offseason, there hasn't been any indication that an NFL team is preparing to sign Colin Kaepernick.

Kaepernick became a free agent last offseason and went unsigned (though a few teams reportedly weighed it), leading many to believe his protests during the national anthem had turned teams away. Kaepernick later filed a collusion grievance that is underway over teams not signing him.

In the meantime, some wondered if Kaepernick still wanted to play. Kaepernick was silent on the issue and rarely spoke in public or to the media at all, focusing instead on charity work.

On Thursday, his trainer, Josh Hidalgo, posted perhaps the first video since Kaepernick's last game with the San Francisco 49ers showing Kaepernick working out and throwing the ball. It provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at Kaepernick's training and preparation for another chance in the NFL.

I've been training @kaepern... @ hidalgoj8

Hidalgo told Sports Illustrated's Peter King in May 2017 that Kaepernick was training and hoping for another job.
