Using J. Cole To Try to Get A Job In The NFL Was Not On My Bingo Card.

You're probably wondering what J. Cole could do to get someone a job in the NFL and I am right there with you. Let me start by saying J. Cole is one of the more talented dudes in the music industry. His music was a huge part of my high school and college years. I'm a fan.

Moving on, needing a reference is a pretty common practice for trying to get a job in today's world but when news broke today that Colin Kaepernick in a roundabout way, used J. Cole to try to get back in the NFL, I cannot lie, I chuckled. I'm fine with Colin pursuing his dreams of being back in the NFL. To be honest, I couldn't really care less. But I'm just not sure J. Cole is the go to guy when it comes to getting signed onto a NFL team. That's the equivalent of trying to get a job at a grocery store and having Megan Fox deliver your resume to the store manager. May help but probably makes zero difference unless the store manager thinks Megan is a smoke. There's just no correlation here. Here's the letter J. Cole released that was sent to teams from Colin.

I think the funniest part about this to me is that at the bottom, his references are people with great football backgrounds. Jim and John Harbaugh, Chip Kelly, Mark Davis, and released by none other than J. Cole. In the words of J. Cole, “Keep grinding, boy, your life can change in one year and even when it's dark out, the sun is shining somewhere."
