Colin Kaepernick to serve as honorary captain for Michigan football spring game
It's not unusual for college teams to invite former NFL stars to their spring games to serve as honorary captains. But to invite one who never took a snap for the school? That's new.
But that's what Michigan football is doing, as former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will serve as an honorary captain at Saturday's Maize and Blue Spring Game, the school announced via Twitter on Wednesday.
Colin Kaepernick is named the honorary captain for the Michigan football spring game, which takes place Saturday, April 2, 2022.
The school tweeted out photos of Kaepernick at Michigan's practice facility with the caption:
"Football Family.
"Excited to share the field with our honorary captain for Saturday's Maize and Blue Spring Game, @Kaepernick7 #GoBlue"
