The reasons for why an able quarterback scarce NFL hasn’t signed Colin Kaepernick have piled up, but the latest may be the most outrageous
Refusing to state the decision to stay away from Kaepernick is because of poor play, the price, or the obvious answer – his National Anthem protests, NFL GMs are now saying they are worried about the quarterback’s vegan diet.
At season’s end, Colin Kaepernick stated he was fully committed to football. But some teams are unconvinced and wonder about his vegan diet.

The point here, I think, is once teams decide they don’t want someone, they come up with plenty of reasons to try to justify the decision. https://t.co/w1jewivDmV

Though Kaepernick did lose weight due to shoulder surgery last offseason, he is now reportedly at the same playing weight as previous years.
The only other vegan quarterback in the NFL? Some scrub named Tom Brady.
