Steelers Star DK Metcalf Gives Background on This Year’s My Cause My Cleats Campaign

DK Metcalf is in the midst of his first season with the Steelers. After spending the beginning of his career with the Seahawks, the All-Pro wideout was traded to Pittsburgh this offseason and signed a massive $150 million extension upon arriving in the Steel City. It hasn’t been all smooth sailing since the season began, though; Metcalf has 45 catches for 605 yards and five touchdowns through 12 games while the Steelers’ offense struggles to find its footing each week.

On Sunday, however, Metcalf was able to demonstrate his dedication off the field by way of the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats campaign. For those unfamiliar, the initiative was created to give players around the NFL an opportunity to bring attention to their preferred charitable cause by wearing custom-made cleats for a game. Metcalf participated in My Cause My Cleats during his time in Seattle but, as it is his first season wearing black and yellow, the team’s Week 13 game against the Bills represented his first opportunity to wear special cleats in support of the Pittsburgh community.
