🦅 The Eagles will be wearing cleats for causes this weekend.
The NFL doesn’t generally give players much leeway when it comes to free expression on the field, so this is a rare opportunity for players to let fans know what’s important to them while also raising money by auctioning off their cleats.
"The platform we have as players in the National Football League allows us to reach an entire generation of people in their homes, their communities, in schools, and on the football field," Brandon Graham said."I’m proud to join my teammates and brothers across the league as we shine a light on these important causes."
Nick Sirianni said he enjoys seeing which causes his players select and how their cleats are decorated. “I think it's really cool,” Sirianni said. “What we know is that we have a platform to be able to inspire change in a good way, so it's interesting to see. It's just another form of connecting for me to see everybody, what's important to them. I might not always know this is important to this guy or this is important to that guy, so obviously it's cool … that these guys are using their platform to inspire change for something that they really care about.
“So I think this is a really cool thing that the NFL does. I've always thought that about this. I'm glad our guys get to put on display what kind of men they are. I really think highly of this football team and I'm obviously biased because I spend so much time with them and I love these guys, but I know we’ve got really good guys. And not just good football players but good men on this team. It's cool that they get to display that.
