Colin Kaepernick confirms vegan diet, says he can still build muscle mass

Now THIS is clearly where the controversy should lie.

There is a huge controversy swirling around Colin Kaepernick, and on Tuesday he confirmed it: he has been on a vegan diet the last nine months. As a meat eater myself, I just don’t know that I can support this (/sarcasm).

There had been some rumors floating around that he had switched over, and his girlfriend mentioned it on her Facebook page back (pointed out by Matt Maiocco). So, this is not breaking news, so much as confirmation of the news.

Where this gets interesting is in his attempts to return from shoulder surgery.
