Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown seems to have big plans in store for the custom cleats he will wear this weekend to support charity.
Asked Friday what the cleats will look like, Brown responded, "It's top secret. For now, you guys call me 'Ronald.'"

The smart money is on Brown wearing cleats in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities, but he's enough of a wild card that it could be anything.
