This week features the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign that allows players to wear non-standard cleats in an effort to raise money for various charitable causes that are close to that individual player’s heart. After the games, the cleats will be auctioned off on the league’s NFL Auction website.
For the Miami Dolphins, several of the players will be wearing special edition cleats this weekend:
