Colts’ Rodney McLeod Honors Slain Virginia Players With Custom Cleats

During the Colts’ game against the Eagles on Sunday, Indianapolis safety Rodney McLeod honored the three Virginia football players who died in a recent campus shooting. McLeod wore custom-designed cleats, one of which included the names and numbers of Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry, who died on Nov. 13.

Additionally, the other cleat had a poem written on it that read:

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.”

McLeod attended the University of Virginia from 2008 to ’11 before entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent.
