Tennessee Titans attended Colin Kaepernick’s workout on Saturday
The Tennessee Titans were one of eight teams to attend Colin Kaepernick’s workout on Saturday.
Despite a late decision to move his workout, the Tennessee Titans still made their way to free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s throwing session on Saturday.
The workout, which was originally scheduled to be held at the Atlanta Falcons’ facility at 3 p.m. EST on Saturday, ended up being changed a half hour before it was set to take place. That situation is another story in and of itself that we’re not going to get into here.
Instead, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback held the workout at 4 p.m. EST at a high school field 60 miles from the original spot, and the Titans were one of eight teams to attend the workout, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com.
The original workout had 25 teams confirmed to be going, however the change in venue whittled it down to just eight. Aside from the Titans, the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Washington Redskins, San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions also attended.
McClure only listed those seven, so I would assume one team has not yet been confirmed because he did say there were eight teams in total.
The workout lasted 40 minutes and Kaepernick threw 60 passes, completing 53 of them. Per McClure, Kaepernick “appeared to impress with his accuracy” but “not all of his throws were perfect.” McClure also described it as a “solid throwing session overall.”
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, one NFL executive had this to say about how Kaepernick looked.
After today’s workout in Atlanta, an NFL executive at Colin Kaepernick’s throwing session said his arm talent is “elite” and is the same as when he came out of college. He said that Kaepernick threw the ball well.

Now, because the Titans attended this workout, does this mean the team is interested in signing him?
There are bound to be people out there who will say that Kaepernick would be a fit for the Titans given they have no quarterbacks under contract for 2020, but at this late stage in the season it would be surprising to see any team sign him.
And if the Titans are in the market for a starting quarterback in 2020 should Ryan Tannehill not work out, there will be a lot of options, most — if not all — of which seem better than Kaepernick, who hasn’t played a single snap in three years.
I wouldn’t bet on seeing Colin Kaepernick in a Titans uniform, whether that be this season or next.
