<p>Looks like Donald Trump has had a change of hearts as president of the USA&nbsp;said he is “absolutely” in favour of giving Colin Kaepernick another chance in the NFL.

<p>"If he deserves it, he should," Trump told a Washington, DC television station when asked if Kaepernick should get another shot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If he has the playing ability. He started off great, and then he didn't end up very great in terms of a player. He was terrific in his rookie year. I think he was very good in his second year. And then something happened. So his playing wasn't up to snuff.</p>
