The NFL has been mourning the death of icon John Madden. Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has decided to do something different than to make a social media post.
Diggs will be honoring the NFL legend with custom-made cleats. He worked with Mache to create the cleats that he will be allowed to wear during warm-ups against the Atlanta Falcons in Buffalo, New York.
On one side of the cleats, it’ll have Madden’s face. The second side of the cleat has Madden with his hand in the face.
It also says 1936-2021. Most people will remember Madden as the Oakland Raiders head coach.
He is the winningest coach in terms of the percentage of a coach with 10 seasons. The 85-year-old led the Raiders from 1969 through 1978.
He went 112-39-7, including a Super Bowl XI win. For those that do not know Madden as a coach, they either know him as a legendary broadcaster.
Or through the Madden NFL video game. Diggs likely grew up with Madden on his TV screens. And through the Madden video game.
