Colin Kaepernick: I'd Stand for the National Anthem, Just Let Me Play!

Breaking News

Colin Kaepernick is apparently over his National Anthem protest ... just as long as it means he can play professional football again. 

Kaepernick reportedly told CBS' Jason La Canfora that he would indeed stand for the National Anthem if he was signed to an NFL team this year. 

La Canfora said Sunday that he'd sat down with Kaep and his GF Saturday night, and explained that Colin's primary goal right now is to be a pro QB ... as he's been living in NYC and training privately in Jersey.

La Canfora also says Colin spends a fair amount of time working with youth in Harlem ... as we've recently seen.  

After sitting down with Colin Kaepernick for several hours, @JasonLaCanfora says the QB is still actively trying to play in the NFL. http://pic.twitter.com/R9qTIZ7EQl

Still ... the alleged statement on standing is shocking if true -- especially in light of the recent national debate that President Trump himself has weighed in on and gotten tremendous backlash from the NFL.

Gotta wonder if this will change any NFL owners' minds about Kaep.
