On the other hand, we believe very strongly in patriotism in the NFL, he told The Associated Press. I personally believe very strongly in that.Goodell added that with NFL players having a visible platform for their viewpoints, we have to choose respectful ways of doing that so that we can achieve the outcomes we ultimately want and do it with the values and ideals that make our country great.Kaepernick will start the season as the 49ers backup quarterback after coach Chip Kelly said Blaine Gabbert had won the starting job.ESPNs Darren Rovell, Nick Wagoner and The Associated Press contributed to this report.Cardinals Jerseys 2019 .
