Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Alejandro Villanueva is supporting a personal military cause with his game day cleats this week.
As part of the NFL's "My Cause My Cleats" initiative, Villanueva -- an Army Ranger before joining the NFL -- will represent the Special Operations Warrior Foundation in Sunday's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
The foundation supports the families of special operations soldiers severely wounded or killed in combat. It specializes in helping the officers' young children, raising money to lift family burdens or promote academic success for children through their formative years.
