Guess who's coming to deposition?

Colin Kaepernick was seen wearing a Kunta Kinte shirt while attending the deposition of Houston Texans owner Bob McNair in his collusion case against the NFL Friday.

McNair was reportedly surprised to see Kaepernick at the deposition, which occurred at 9 a.m. in Houston, and lasted for about two hours. TMZ Sports obtained a photo of the free agent walking out after the deposition in a shirt with the name of the Roots character, and smiling.
