Retired NFL star Ray Lewis is making headlines after he said he’s praying for controversial football player Colin Kaepernick.
The 42-year-old former linebacker recently said that Kaepernick’s name is even in his Bible, and that he prays for him more than he could imagine.
Kaepernick set off a national firestorm and debate when he didn’t stand for the national anthem at several games in protest of the treatment of African-Americans by police in America.
“While a bunch of people are talking about this man, Kaep let me tell you something brother, I pray for you more than you ever can imagine.ย
Your name is in my Bible that God gives you the vision… I applaud you for the things that you stood up for.”ย
Lewis also said in the video that he hopes the famous quarterback follows God.
“I wish you the best in life. I hope you chase whatever God got for you to chase. And once again I applaud what you stood up for because I’m in the streets every day.
So while people are talking about what’s this and why Ray said this ..Ray ain’t said nothing.”
