Warren Sapp: Colin Kaepernick's workout with Raiders was a 'disaster'

By Chelena Goldman | Last updated 6/27/22

Colin Kaepernick has been trying for a long time to resurrect his NFL career, but rumors of a bad workout are now making the rounds on social media.

Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp was asked in a recent interview about Kaepernick's tryout with the Las Vegas Raiders, and Sapp didn't hold back in sharing how he heard the tryout went.

"I heard it was a disaster," a wide-eyed Sapp told Vlad TV. "I heard it was one of the worst workouts ever."

Kaepernick's agent has already gone into damage control mode, telling Pro Football Talk that Sapp clearly didn't do his homework and that the Raiders actually were very impressed.

"I spoke to the GM several times, and he said they all thought Kap was in great shape and threw the ball really well and encouraged any team to call him about the workout and he would tell them the same," agent Jeff Nalley said. "I'm surprised Warren would say that because it's not true and you would think he would want Kap on a team."

It isn't clear where Sapp got his information from, especially since other reports coming out of the workout were that Kaepernick did well.
