This Sunday, players in the Silver and Black will be lacing up unique cleats as they take the field against the Washington Football Team.
Started in 2016, My Cause My Cleats is a league-wide initiative that allows players to champion a cause important to them with custom designed cleats.
Rookie linebacker Divine Deablo shared that he is supporting Organization of Autism Research in honor of his brother.
"I don't want anybody to be treated differently, even if they are different," Deablo said. "I just want everybody to be treated the same, like they're family."
Rookie cornerback Nate Hobbs chose to bring awareness to intellectual disabilities through his cleats, a cause close to his heart since a young age.
"For like seven, eight years, my family took care of [a] mentally disabled lady, and she grew to be like a sister to me, so that's why I wanted to do that," Hobbs said.
After the game, players have the option to donate their cleats to NFL Auction where fans can bid to win the cleats, with 100% of proceeds from sales go each player's respective cause.
