According to CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, seven teams were represented at the workout: the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions.
NFL must've been pissed. While Kaepernick was stretching on the field at the new location, the NFL released a statement saying that they were disappointed Kaepernick did not appear for his workout. The league said 25 teams were present for the scheduled workout.
My guess is that the seven teams were the ones actually interested in watching the workout. The 25 were those ordered to be there by the NFL.
...or Kaep's diva-like temper tantrum made 18 teams realize they'd wasted their time. NFL teams want guys who will toe the line and rep the team well, not loose cannons with a martyr complex. Especially not in this era, where one perceived mistake could send twitter into a frenzy. In a world of gasoline, Kaepernick is a lit match.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
