In New England’s Dec. 6 NFL game against the Buffalo Bills, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones wore a pair of blue cleats with “Boston Children’s” written on them. “Robbie” was on Jones’ right shoe, and “Be Brave” appeared on his left.
On Tuesday after New England’s joint practice with the Carolina Panthers in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the former Alabama All-American met Robbie.
Robbie Klein is a 7-year-old frequent visitor to Boston Children’s Hospital because of severe hemophilia A.
Jones wore the footwear as part of the My Cause My Cleats initiative, an NFL program that allows players, coaches and staff members to represent charitable organizations by wearing customized cleats during a designated game.
