Edwards told USA TODAY Sports:
“I said, ‘Don’t wait 50 years to try to get some memorabilia and so forth on Kaepernick. ‘Let me give you a game jersey, some shoes, a picture … And it should be put right there alongside Muhammad Ali. He’s this generation’s Ali.’”
The items were sent off immediately but are not yet on display. Expect them to be included in the museum within the next year or two, according to the Smithsonian’s curator of sports, Damion Thomas.
