Antonio Brown to honor the late Jasper Howard on cleats
NFL on ESPN/Twitter
Antonio Brown will be using his cleats to pay tribute to Miami native and former UConn cornerback Jasper Howard for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Miami Dolphins.
The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver will be wearing custom cleats depicting Howard, who was fatally stabbed during an on-campus fight in 2009. The cleats also have Howard's last name printed on the back and "Play every play like it's the last play you'll ever play" on the toes.
