32 Browns Players Taking Part In My Cause, My Cleats; Check Out Both
Players on the Cleveland Browns have been encouraged by the team to use their platform to support causes they are passionate in supporting. The My Cause, My Cleats campaign allows players to not only speak about initiatives they support, but showcase it on their cleats.
32 members of the Browns will be participating this year supporting causes that range from healthcare causes to social justice to ocean conservation.
Some, like Baker Mayfield's work with the Special Olympics or Jarvis Landry's efforts combating Cystic Fibrosis are pretty well known while players like Olivier Vernon, Taywan Taylor and Mack Wilson are supporting causes that are deeply personal to them, but may not be as well known.
