I’m not going to lie, I was expecting to get some backlash after my tweet about how black quarterbacks don’t get much love in the NFL. But I didn’t anticipate getting replies from teammates and coaches. In fact, I got replies from three Chiefs players—Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Sammy Watkins. And they were all supportive and thankful. We’re all human. Everyone makes mistakes. So I appreciate them taking the time out of their day to reach out to me and say they understand where I’m coming from.My point wasn’t really to compare myself to Kaepernick. I just wanted to point out that he’s being criticized for kneeling at games, yet no one ever talks about the fact that Colin Kaepernick isn’t even allowed to play football anymore. I think if anyone deserves a second chance, it’s him.
