Pregame Blog: Steelers vs. Browns

My Cause, My Cleats: Steelers players can often be seen wearing custom cleats during pregame warmups, but this week against the Cleveland Browns, custom cleats will be the norm during the game.

For the ninth straight year the NFL is allowing players to represent a charity that touches them deeply in a unique manner with the league's player cause initiative, My Cause My Cleats.

The initiative was created for NFL players to showcase a charitable cause in order to bring attention to it, and the players take part in helping with the design of their cleats.

After the players wear the cleats, they have the option to auction them off to raise money for their cause on NFL Auction, with 100% of the funds raised given to the charity. Fans may bid on player cleats at NFL.com/Auction.

During Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season, Steelers players are showcasing their chosen charitable cause on their game cleats

Honoring the best: The Steelers Hall of Honor is the ultimate recognition for those who have made immeasurable contributions to the organization, whether it be on the field, or off the field.

Today when Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns, the newest additions to the group will be recognized when the Hall of Honor Class of 2024 is introduced at halftime, after officially being enshrined the night before at a dinner at Acrisure Stadium.

The Hall of Honor Class of 2024 includes linebacker Jason Gildon, nose tackle Casey Hampton, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau and running back Willie Parker, a group that brought plenty of glory to the black and gold.

"We are excited to introduce the 2024 Class of Hall of Honor. A great group of Steelers," said Steelers President Art Rooney II. "Coach LeBeau, unusual I would say for an assistant coach to go in, not sure how many times that'll happen, but he's just a remarkable person and just so loved by his players.

"Jason really stepped in at a time where we didn't know what we were getting in him. And for him to come in and set the sack record (at that point) was great to see. And, of course, Casey Hampton, just so popular with his teammates and the rock in the center of that line. Willie, the Super Bowl record is great, but a great career, a solid performer and to see somebody come in undrafted like that and have that kind of success. It's exciting to see him going into the Hall of Honor now."

The team introduced the Hall of Honor in 2017, an idea that came from Steelers President Art Rooney II, along with late Chairman Dan Rooney. The Hall of Honor was established to recognize former players, coaches, and front office personnel who played an integral role in the success of the franchise, from the beginning in 1933 until now. To be considered, a player must be retired at least three years and played a minimum of three seasons for the Steelers. Former coaches and contributors had to make significant contributions to the team and community.

What's new at Acrisure Stadium: A new season brings changes on the football field, and at Acrisure Stadium, it brings changes off the field as well.
