Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is wearing custom cleats displaying yellow police tape wrapped around them before his team's game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns at FedEx Field.
Jackson said in a statement that he wants to start a dialogue about the killings of citizens and police.
"Today is the start of my attempts to be part of a solution and start dialogue about the senseless killings of both citizens and police," Jackson said. "I have chosen to wear these cleats in pregame today to use my platform as a pro athlete to add to this discussion.
