SALT LAKE CITY – Multiple local NFL players participated in the league’s My Cause My Cleats campaign for the 2022 season.
#MyCauseMyCleats
This season, local NFL players chose to join the campaign and will wear customized cleats in Week 13 to support their cause or organization of choice.
“NFL players reveal their passions beyond the game and wear their hearts on their feet through My Cause My Cleats,” NFL.com describes the campaign. “Players have the opportunity to pick a cause that is important to them and represent their chosen organization on custom designed cleats.”
The NFL kicked off Unboxing Week for #MyCauseMyCleats with players from across the league showcasing their custom cleats to recognize various causes.
