The video seemed to have been recorded at Nike HQ in Oregon, according to Fox News. All of the athletes featured in the ad are endorsed by Nike, but it is unclear whether or not they are being paid to be a part of the ad or if it is a part of their general contract.
Kaepernick has been out of the game since the 2016 season, with his final appearance having been on Jan. 1, 2017. Instead, he has been spending his time on social activism and has been pushing for prisons and the police to be abolished. He has also previously compared the NFL Draft to a slave auction while also claiming the NFL owners blackballed him.
