From stopping violence to the Flint water crisis, NFL cleats program very personal for Bucs

TAMPA, Fla. -- For Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander, his late brother Broderick Taylor is with him wherever he goes. Every game he plays, he thinks of "Brod," who was shot and killed in their hometown of Anniston, Alabama. He was just 17 years old and was preparing to graduate.

Alexander has dedicated the rest of his life to honoring his brother and spreading a message of peace. So it's only fitting that on Sunday -- as part of the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" program, where players get to wear custom cleats supporting a charity or cause of their choice -- Alexander will represent "Stop the Violence," and Broderick's name will be etched on them, along with an image of an angel.
