Brady leads 'My Cause My Cleats' auction bids by wide margin
There's a high demand for the cleats Tom Brady wore as part of the NFL's "My Cause My Cleats" campaign.
Brady's red cleats - worn in the New England Patriots' Dec. 2 win over the Minnesota Vikings - currently have the highest auction bid among all players' footwear at $20,010. Proceeds from Brady's cleats will be donated to the Ellie Fund and Best Buddies to provide support to breast cancer patients and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, respectively.

The next-highest bid is for the cleats worn by Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry in support of the Special Olympics. Those cleats are sitting at $7,610. Former NFL wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. got the bidding started earlier this month.
