HEAR MY FOOTSTEPS

On the field, “hearing footsteps” means your presence is undeniable. Off the field, it means the same. This year’s My Cause My Cleats campaign celebrates the powerful influence players have—both in the game and in their communities. Through service and leadership, they uplift those around them and create lasting change. Featured players include Dion Dawkins (Dion’s Dreamers Foundation), Micah Parsons (Lionheart Foundation), and Jake Ferguson (National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation).
