'She'll always be there': Cardinals punter Andy Lee honors late daughter with cleats

Skip to main content

Andy Lee likes his cleats tight, really tight.

The cleat on his planting foot is half a size smaller than his normal shoes. For the soccer cleat on his punting foot, he goes a size and a half down. It is certainly effective, but not exactly comfortable.

"When the defense is on the field, I sit down and untie it, so my foot doesn't go to sleep," Lee said.

So throughout every game, the Cardinals veteran /punter will tie and untie his right cleat, in sync with the ups and downs of the game.
