NFL Allows Delanie Walker, Jason McCourty to Wear Charity Cleats for Week 14
Tennessee Titans players Delanie Walker and Jason McCourty will be able to wear individualized cleats Sunday against the Denver Broncos after receiving permission from the NFL.
"We have spoken to both the Titans and Browns," an NFL spokesperson told Paul Kuharsky of ESPN. "Players from the two teams on a bye last week can participate in My Cause/My Cleats in Week 14."
Earlier in the day, Walker and McCourty told Kuharsky they were going to wear their cleats if they did not receive permission from the league.
In Week 13, the NFL allowed players to wear personalized cleats as part of the "My Cause My Cleats" campaign, with players promoting charities or causes of their choice.
The Titans were on a bye week, however, along with the Cleveland Browns.
"We should be able to—us and Cleveland," Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo told Kuharsky prior to the NFL's announcement. "We're not allowed; we can't."
Walker will show support for MADD and Delanie Walker Gives Back, while McCourty's cleats will honor Tackle Sickle Cell.
Walker shared a picture of his cleats on Twitter:
Paul Lukas of Uni Watch showcased the cleats of McCourty and his twin brother Devin, who plays for the New England Patriots:
A huge number of players participated in the event, and NFL.com shared photos and many of the stories behind players' charities or causes. NFL on ESPN also passed along some of the most memorable designs:
The NFL quickly reversed course, allowing the Titans to participate in the promotion.
