Colin Kaepernick Added to Madden NFL 21 - Overall Rating 81, Free Nike Kaepernick Icon Jersey 2.0 Available in The Yard

Wondering if Tim Tebow will be added next? Maybe as an 85?

My point exactly! If EA wants to put him in the game...hey I'm all for it. It's their game and they can do what they want to do. But, if you want it to be taken seriously and not be seen as some publicity stunt, at least rate him as you would any other player who was 32 y/o and hadn't played in 4 years.

I know why they put him in, but that statement and his rating just make EA look dumb to people that know football.

Oh buddy i can't wait to put him on the bills or bears

or maybe the jets 🤔

And yet Chris Streveler, Grey Cup champion who's on the Cardinals roster, isn't in game yet.

I hate virtue signalling.

****ing hell, the dudes 81 too. What a crock of ****.

EA didn't own the rights to use Jadeveon Clowney in the game until he signed with the Titans.

Presumably EA signed a separate agreement with Colin Kaepernick in which he granted them permission to use his likeness in the game, similar to how every historic player in Ultimate Team is handled.

and yet Clowney, and Streveler, and many others aren't in the game. Actual NFL players.
