Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor and several his teammates will wear special cleats for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.

In particular, Pryor will sport two pairs for three different causes as part of the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats weekend, which allows players to wear custom shoes beyond warm-ups

During pre-game warmups, Pryor said he’ll wear cleats paying homage to the Special Olympics. “I think that’s a fantastic (cause),” he said. “That’s admirable.”

After kickoff, Pryor said he’ll change into a pair of turquoise kicks, with one side adorned in “cancer ribbons and flowers” for his late grandmother and the other in honor of his father, Craig, who passed five years ago after battling Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a rare neurological disorder.
