Back in 2016, the NFL started a new tradition to allow players to wear custom cleats to support charities and organizations that are close to them. The "My Cause, My Cleats" promotion always lands on Week 13, and that means during tonight's game against the Washington Redskins, Eagles players will be wearing their custom-made cleats. Here's a look at some of the cleats that will be worn tonight and the charities and foundations the Eagles players will be raising awareness for:
•Carson Wentz is supporting his Audience of One Foundation, sporting the foundation's logo and a Bible quote
•Kamu Grugger-Hill will be supporting his Quarterback's cause, Audience of One Foundation
•Nelson Agholor has partnered with PDQ on a year-long initiative called Building Reading Muscles, and will be wearing cleats tonight that bring awareness to them
•Zach Ertz is supporting his Ertz Family Foundation, sporting the foundation's logo and a Bible quote
•Chris Long will be supporting The Chris Long Foundation, along with Summer Search(education equality) and Waterboys (awareness for clean water)
•Alshon Jeffery is bringing awareness to Philabundance (ending hunger) with his cleats tonight
•Stefan Wisniewski will be supporting Carson Wentz's foundation, the Audience of One Foundation
•Malcolm Jenkins will be bringing awareness to the Players Coalition(criminal justice reform, social and racial equality)
•The team’s ownership, coaching staff, gameday staff, cheerleaders and some players will wear special shoes on the sideline to highlight the Eagles Autism Challenge
The Eagles will certainly look good aesthetically tonight, but it remains to be seen how good they'll look on the actual playing field.
