More than 500 players across the NFL are going to sport custom cleats that reflect their commitment to charitable causes during Week 13 games, and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is one of them.
The NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats campaign is an initiative that’s been a culmination of 18 months of collaborative work between the NFL and players across the league, and it includes an online storytelling platform, in partnership with The Players’ Tribune. Throughout the season, participating players have worked with The Players’ Tribune to tell the stories behind their cleats via long-form features and profile cards.
