Wide receiver Jordan Veasy just signed a contract with the Redskins after participating in Colin Kaepernick’s public workout.
Colin Kaepernick still doesn’t have an NFL contract three weeks after his public workout at an Atlanta area high school, however, one of the wide receivers who worked out with the former 49ers quarterback did just sign a contract with the Redskins.
Jordan Veasy went undrafted out of California in 2018. In was at the university that the receiver met Kaepernick, Veasy told the Washington Post, while the quarterback was still with the 49ers. Kaepernick was auditing a class on black representation in popular culture which Veasy was a student in.
Veasy told the Post that he reached out to Kaepernick’s agent when he heard that Kaepernick would be working out two hours away from the receiver’s hometown of Gadsen, Alabama.
“I was going to be in Gadsden running routes anyway,” Veasy told the Post. “Might as well run ’em in front of some scouts.”
Veasy’s visibility got a lift by him being on the receiving end of some of the more memorable passes from Kaepernick during the workout, including a deep ball to the endzone.
The contract with Washington is not Veasy’s first with an NFL team. As an undrafted free agent, Veasy has also signed contracts with the Titans, Jaguars, Colts, and Bills. Most recently, the receiver spent time on Buffalo’s practice squad this season.
