Colin Kaepernick held his Saturday workout a high school in Atlanta after moving the session from the Falcons’ practice facility.

The NFL announced that 25 teams had representatives on hand for the scheduled workout before Kaepernick announced it was being moved.

Here’s a collection of notes regarding Kaepernick’s workout and the fallout:

After the workout, Kaepernick’s made the following statement: “I’ve been ready for three years. I’ve been denied for three years. We all know why I came out here: showed it today in front of everybody. We have nothing to hide. So we’re waiting for the 32 owners, 32 teams, Roger Goodell, all of them stop running. Stop running from the truth. Stop running from the people. We’re out here. We’re ready to play. We’re ready to go anywhere. My agent, Jeff Nalley, is ready to talk any team. I’ll interview with any team at any time. I’ve been ready.” (Vaughn McClure)
