Although Colin Kaepernick is still without an NFL job, he's putting work in with the league's top stars. Kaepernick met up with Cleveland Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr., who ran routes for the former 49ers quarterback.

Sure it's only a short clip with zero defense, but both men look ready to take the field.
It's been almost two years since Kap filed a lawsuit against the NFL, accusing team owners of collusion for keeping him out of the league. Kaepernick's name has popped up when teams have looked for quarterbacks, though no franchise has officially given him a chance to return.
There's been plenty of buzz around Jay-Z's deal with the NFL after the rapper said they've moved past kneeling, but Kaepernick is standing his ground, tweeting out support for Eric Reid, Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson II.

As for Beckham Jr., he's gearing up for Week 1 of the NFL season, when the Browns host the Titans. OBJ has had his fair share of criticism as well, blasting the Giants for trading him in a blockbuster deal in March.
With Baker Mayfield being Cleveland's star QB, seeing Kap and OBJ on an NFL field together is nothing more than a pipe dream. But if Kaepernick shows that he's staying ready, maybe a team will come around eventually.
