Colin Kaepernick: Raiders' outlook after QB shines in workout

NFL insider Albert Breer has been discussing Colin Kaepernick and his future in the league following his tryout with the Las Vegas Raiders.

According to Breer, who was writing in a column for SI.com, we won’t find out right away whether or not Kaepernick managed to do enough
