Commanders Players Advocate Against Gun Violence With Custom Cleats

For the past six years, NFL players have donned custom-made cleats that showcase a special cause they support as part of the league’s #MyCauseMyCleats initiative. With the annual tradition set to commence in Week 13, several Commanders players spoke this week about their collective decision to use their platform to advocate against gun violence.

Defensive end Montez Sweat, rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr., safety Darrick Forrest and linebacker De’Jon “Scoota” Harris will wear cleats dedicated to the cause for Sunday’s game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium, according to The Washington Post.
