Brandon Lavar Flowers (born 18 February 1986) is a former American football cornerback. He played college football at Virginia Tech, and was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. I wanted to get involved with [PETA’s anti-fur campaign] because first off, I’m an animal lover. I have a dog. And I couldn’t imagine someone just taking my dog’s fur or skinning my dog alive or killing him just to be selfish. ... If you have a heart, I’m pretty sure it’ll touch you to see how these animals suffer. "The NFL's Brandon Flowers Says, 'Don't Be Selfish'—Be Fur-Free", video interview with PETA (11 December 2014). During OTA’s I was up there in weight even though I felt like I was eating ok. Just going vegan, I just got just the history of being a vegan, how to fix your body and everything like that, so I fell in love with it. I lost 12 pounds, a good 12 pounds coming into training camp so I feel good, I’ve got to keep building on it. ... You know, it wasn’t tough at all because everything that I love, you can have something that tastes just like it. It’s what I had to figure out. You don’t just cut out the taste of having a hamburger. They have vegan hamburgers that taste like hamburgers, you know, so why not go with that instead of putting the meat of an animal inside your body. "Brandon Flowers on building camaraderie, why he’s gone vegan & what excites him about this team", interview with Mighty1090.com (30 July 2015).
