Colin Kaepernick is ALL THE SMOKE and he's still got everything to say. Matt & Stak sat down with the man who took a knee and changed sports forever, and he came with the real story: the fake NFL workout that turned into a legal trap, the waiver his own lawyers called malpractice, and the call from Jay-Z the day before that NFL deal went public.

He also breaks down the Super Bowl run, growing up biracial in Northern California, and what he actually wants to be remembered for, as a quarterback and as a man.
