Michael Bennett would love to have Colin Kaepernick on his team
While many media members have critiqued Colin Kaepernick for his stance against wrongdoings in America, not many players have spoken out against him. A matter of fact, Michael Bennett would actually like to have him as his teammate.
“A person that’s dedicating their life to creating change, why wouldn’t you want that type of leadership in your locker room? Why wouldn’t you want to give (a chance to) a person that’s dealt with people calling him wanting to kill him because of his choices in life? I don’t know why people feel like that is a problem,” Bennett said.
“I think Kaepernick getting an opportunity to be on our team would be really cool, really a good base for him because you have a coach like Coach (Pete) Carroll who’s up for challenges like that, you have an owner who … gives back to homeless, you’ve got players on your team that give back in the community, you’ve got Russell Wilson, who shows our team is built around community. So this is a perfect place for him.”
Bennett could get his wish, because the Seahawks have reportedly reached out to Kaep and his agents.
