It’s not just Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Luke Fortner representing the Kentucky football program well during this week’s “My Cause My Cleats” promotion in the NFL.
Easing up on its strict uniform policies for the week, the league allows players to wear custom cleats to support their most passionate causes and charities of choice. Fortner chose the Kentucky Children’s Hospital (KCH) to not only honor a place he frequented during his time in Lexington, but an individual patient in particular, Ellie. The two worked together to draw up the design, which Fortner is set to unveil on the field this Sunday when the Jaguars take on the Lions.
