Flip through photos of the unique custom cleats made for Broncos players and the causes they represent for this year's My Cause My Cleats campaign.

"I believe to whom much is given, much is required. With that being said, I was blessed to grow up in an environment that was conducive to my goal of getting a college education and playing in the NFL. A lot of kids in my surrounding community of Atlanta aren't afforded that same upbringing. My foundation is a way for me to activate the potential in these youth to be better off in their futures."
River Cracraft: Hilinski's Hope

Will Parks: Philadelphia CeaseFire
"I have lost numerous friends and family to violence in different categories. Gun violence, however, is still at an all-time high and I need it to change. Robberies are high. All types of murders — for no reason, in a lot of cases. All over around the world there is violence."

Darian Stewart: Stewart Standouts Foundation
"I want to support and encourage the youth with events and scholarships for academic and athletic pursuits, extracurricular activities and many other professional endeavors that are desirable and beneficial, but otherwise unaffordable to underprivileged youth."
Courtland Sutton: Boys & Girls Clubs of America
"I grew up going to the Boys & Girls Club, and I know how impactful the club can be in youth."
Dymonte Thomas: CHARGE Syndrome Foundation

Jared Veldheer: Van Andel Institute
