BOURBONNAIS — David Carter’s grandparents owned a barbecue restaurant in Los Angeles. Meat was in his blood, and on his body; at 6-5, 300 pounds, the Bears defensive lineman’s paycheck depended on his girth.

He wanted to try something different, though, after being cut by the Cowboys two seasons ago. On Valentine’s Day, 2014, he relented to his wife Paige’s pleas, and practice, for years.

He became a vegan.
