Montell Owens interviewed with ActionNewsJack on his vegan diet.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ running back is an ambassador for the vegan supplement brand Vega, a company created by vegan triathlete Brendon Brazier. Owens was inspired to go vegan after being introduced to one of Brazier’s books, Thrive, by his wife.

“The first couple of weeks, it was tough. There were some cravings. Your body’s detoxing. It’s used to eating things that are processed, unnatural or that have a lot of harmful by-products,” Owens said.

“Brendan exposed all of what I was lacking in my diet. Obviously I want a competitive advantage. Not only in life, but on the football field,” he continued.
