Hue Jackson Bails on Colin Kaepernick Workout After Late Venue Change
By Ian Anderson
The sudden dumpster fire that is the Colin Kaepernick's NFL workout is burning bright.
After the QB insisted on changing venues earlier today from an Atlanta Falcons facility to another about an hor away, he has since lost one of the coaches set to lead the workout: Hue Jackson, former head coach of the Cleveland Browns, said thanks-but-no-thanks.

Jackson made the decision to leave Atlanta following the announcement of the venue change.
He clearly wasn't interested in making a longer trip.

The NFL could not have hoped for a worse rollout for this showcase. They seem to have thrown numerous wrenches into Kap's comeback plans over the last couple years, and it's worked. Since being effectively blackballed from the league back in 2016, Kaepernick has pursued a second chance to play in the NFL, but has never gotten it. This was supposed to be his latest big chance to re-enter the fray, and it's misfired in just about every way before it finally did get started late Saturday afternoon.
