In an excerpt about Kaepernick, the magazine said, "While Kap maintains his silent protest, he collaborated with GQ on a special project: a wide-ranging series of interviews with ten of his closest confidants and supporters—including rapper J. Cole, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, legendary artist Harry Belafonte, and more. Together, they explore Colin Kaepernick's actions, provide insight into his world right now, and explain why there's more work to be done."
GQ also named Stephen Colbert its "Bad Hombre of the Year," Gal Gadot its "Wonder Woman of the Year," and Kevin Durant its "Champion of the Year".
