AJ Brown Once Challenged NFL’s Unusual Show Guidelines
AJ Brown voiced his frustration with the NFL’s rule that compelled him to switch cleats during the games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. He started the game with vibrant ‘highlight green’ cleats but reluctantly switched to black ones during the first quarter.
He recounted how officials threatened to bench him during the game if he didn’t change his cleats. Equipment manager Greg Delimitros warned of a possible game ejection if he didn’t comply. The change for cleats saved him $7,100. He said, via ESPN:
“That rule sucks. I really tried to bend the rules a little bit, but I think all players should just wear whatever they want to wear. They’re not going to be able to fine everybody in the league. So I think we should start that movement as players.”

AJ Brown’s colorful cleats aren’t just a style statement; they have a heart-touching backstory. He wears them to help his 3-year-old daughter, Jersee, easily spot him on the field. Regular black cleats, as recalled by Brown, make it harder for her to identify him. He said, with the vibrant cleats, it’s a different story.
