Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who alienated fans by leading protests against the National Anthem and likening police officers to pigs, reportedly worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders as he attempts a comeback after five years away from the game.

The 34-year-old quarterback, whose last NFL game was in 2017, had a workout with the Raiders Wednesday, according to ESPN. There was no word on how he looked, but he reportedly is ready to accept a backup role to get back into the league.

“You don’t bring in a player like this unless you are understanding of the ramifications and everything that comes along with it and what he can do for your offense,” said ESPN’s football maven Adam Shefter. “But he’s been looking for a chance to get back to the National Football League. He knows that he’ll have to come in as a backup, but again, this is something that’s interesting because the Raiders have always been a progressive organization.”
