    LaVar Arrington does not have firsthand intel on Colin
    Kaepernick’s workout with the Raiders, but vows that Warren Sapp
    is not a liar.

    Earlier this week, Sapp relayed that he’d heard Kaepernick’s
    workout was a “disaster” and “one of the worst ever.”

    The free agent quarterback’s agent told Mike Florio in response
    via text that “I guess Warren didn’t talk to the General Manager
    [Dave Zieger] or the head coach [Josh McDaniels]. I spoke to the
    GM several times and he said they all thought Kap was in great
    shape and threw the ball really well and encouraged any team to
    call him about the workout and he would tell them the same.”

    Arrington said he has no reason to doubt Sapp’s word. The Hall
    of Fame defensive tackle played four seasons with the Raider at
    the end of his career.

    “I know Sapp pretty well… He ain’t lying,” Arrington said on Fox
    Sports Radio. “One thing Sapp is not is a ‘liar.’ If you’ve
    played for an organization, you know people in the organization.
    There’s certain places that you can get information that in
    other cases you wouldn’t get that information.

    “Sapp played for the Raiders, and Sapp probably has a
    relationship with a couple people that are in the organization.
    If Sapp didn’t know, hear, or have a discussion with someone who
    was in the organization he wouldn’t have even talked about it.”

    Arrington continued to explain his belief that the information
    pipeline could reach Sapp.

    “Knowing how Sapp is, the reason why Vlad [the interviewer] even
    asked it was because he was setting up Sapp to be able to talk
    about something he already had information on, so let’s just be
    clear on that,” he said.

    “The agent can say ‘well, we talked to the Raiders organization
    and Sapp didn’t’… well, Sapp might not have talked to the people
    that YOU spoke to but that doesn’t mean he didn’t speak to
    people in the organization who A) either knew from other
    evaluators what the evaluation was, or B) directly to the people
    who were doing the work out and got that information first hand.
    He’s not making that up.”

    Kaepernick has been out of the NFL since 2016, after he kneeled
    during the national anthem to protest racial injustice.
