“My Cause My Cleats is an opportunity for NFL players to raise awareness of the important work of the charities they support,” said Eagles All-Pro Right Tackle Lane Johnson. “We are fortunate to have great leaders around the league, especially here in Philadelphia, starting with Mr. (Jeffrey) Lurie (Eagles Chairman and CEO), who have given us a platform to raise awareness of the issues, those we care about off the field. I am proud to join my teammates and the NFL family as we seek to shine a light on the many causes around the world that need our support.”
