BEREA, OHIO – 35 Browns players, Head Coach Kevin Stefanski (Keeper’s Foundation) and three assistant coaches will rock custom footwear by participating in the league’s annual My Cause My Cleats campaign. Their powerful stories with signature meanings will be showcased pregame and throughout the team’s Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High on Monday Night Football.

For the ninth consecutive year, the player-led campaign is a sync between the NFL and players allowing them to link with artists and represent their respective philanthropic organizations, passions, and movements in stadiums across the league. This year, Browns players and coaches will shed light towards healthcare accessibility, education/academic enrichment, military appreciation, social justice, youth sports engagement, gun violence, youth empowerment, and more.

The Browns collaborated with Jonathan Hrusovsky, the artist behind “Hrusovsky’s Custom Kicks,” a Cleveland-based venture specializing in hand-painted, one-of-a-kind designs on footwear and other sporting equipment. His portfolio includes collaborations with the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, MLB All-Star Weekend, and the Cleveland Guardians. This year, he is customizing cleats for CB Denzel Ward, offensive line coach Andy Dickerson, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, CB Martin Emerson Jr.,WR Jerry Jeudy, RB Jerome Ford, assistant defensive line coach Jordan Thomas, CB Cameron Mitchell, DT Maurice Hurst II, WR Cedric Tillman, QB Bailey Zappe and CB Mike Ford Jr. The team also worked with nationally acclaimed artist Soles by Sir of Miami, Fla.

DT Maurice Hurst II will support the club’s Stay in the Game! Attendance Network, where he holds the role of ambassador for the 2024 season. The program aims to encourage regular attendance and eliminate chronic absenteeism in schools across Northeast Ohio. During a Browns Give Back visit earlier this month, 10 students with improved attendance from Orchard Park Academy had the opportunity to help Hurst II customize his cleats. Following the visit, those students received news that they will be gifted a pair of custom air force 1’s that will mimic Hurst’s cleats. Six players will highlight their respective organizations, including LB Jordan Hicks (True Strength Ability Awareness); K Dustin Hopkins (The Well Foundation); S Rodney McLeod Jr. (Change Our Future); LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah* (NKWA Foundation); CB Denzel Ward(Make Them Know Your Name—MTKYN); QB Jameis Winston (Jameis Winston Dream Forever Foundation).

Over 1,000 players and coaches have engaged in the initiative, making this year noteworthy as players plan to spotlight causes close to their hearts. Players can choose to raise funds for their causes by auctioning their cleats off at NFL Auction, where the proceeds will be donated to their respective charities.
