Kaepernick refuses to be silenced by NFL critics
Ex-player Dilfer tells 49er to ‘be quiet and sit in the shadows’

by Kadeem Simmonds

COLIN Kaepernick hit back at ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer early yesterday morning, after he was told to “be quiet and sit in the shadows” by the former NFL quarterback, who went on to accuse him of being selfish.

Dilfer, speaking on Sunday, slammed the San Francisco 49ers quarterback for his protests against the United States national anthem, saying: “The big thing that hit me through all this was this is a backup quarterback whose job is to be quiet and sit in the shadows and get the starter ready to play week one.”
