Steelers WR Antonio Brown's cleats honor the late Pat Tillman

[PDXChris]

Antonio Brown is hitting the right tone with his customized footwear over Veterans Day weekend.

Brown will honor former NFL player Pat Tillman with his red, white and blue cleats, which he'll wear during pregame of the Pittsburgh Steelers' matchup with the Dallas Cowboys in Heinz Field.

Photos of the cleats -- provided by Brown's artist, Corey Pane -- show images of Tillman as an Arizona Cardinals safety and a United States Army ranger. 'TILL' and 'MAN' are displayed on the heels, along with the #40.

From a military family - thank you Mr. Brown, and thank you to all who have served this great country, no matter the direction of our politics. I salute you.

Any reason why these shoes aren't being worn by a Cardinal?

There's still probably ppl in the organization that knew Pat well and know he'd think this stuff is silly. Plummer has said things in the past like he'd be against personal stuff like that.

But it burns my gut that a Stealer is wearing them. I appreciate the gesture but anyone but a Stealer...or a Cowboy...or a Seahawk...or a 49er...

Just remember that nobody loves attention more than AB. Not that his tribute isn't authentic... just saying dude does something every game to get fined or told to change his shoes/socks.

He seems to get me fantasy points though.
