The NFL is generally against the free expression of its players, unless of course there is a marketing scheme to be implemented. With this Sunday falling on Veterans Day weekend and the NFL’s Salute to Service Month, the league decide to let is players show out some of their usually-repressed creativity as they honored the men and women who’ve served in our armed forces by donning some special cleats.
Here are some of the best-looking tributes so far from today’s NFL games.
