One of the cooler promotions the NFL does each season is its “My Cause, My Cleats” week to spread awareness of charitable foundations and causes important to its players, and many New Orleans Saints players participated by wearing customized shoes in Week 13’s game with the Tampa bay Buccaneers. Some of them shared stories behind the causes they’re supporting:
