Despite not playing in five years, Kaepernick told <i>Ebony<\/i> magazine that he gets up at 5 a.m. and trains 5 or 6 days a week just in case a team calls to offer him another shot at the pros.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely.
