My Cause My Cleats is the NFL's player-driven cause initiative, when players are given ownership of the field, game broadcast and marketing to shine a light on the causes and social issues most important to them. Players' causes come to life through creative storytelling across NFL, club, player and broadcast partner channels, and on-field via custom cleats inspired by their chosen causes.
See below for the Houston Texans roster's causes to be represented with custom cleats during Deep Steel Sunday matchup vs. the Browns at NRG Stadium. See the cleats in person.
