Xavier Woods, accomplished artist Catherine Benita, and mother join ‘GMFB’ to showcase work for My Cause My Cleats

Dec 4, 2025 | News, News Front Page |
A split-screen television segment shows two individuals. On the top, a football player sits in a home-style setting holding up a pair of brightly colored custom cleats decorated with words promoting friendship and inclusion. A caption invites viewers to visit a website for more information about the charity partnership. On the bottom, a young woman with Down syndrome sits on a studio couch smiling. She wears a black T-shirt with inclusion-themed text, and a caption bar at the bottom describes an award-winning artist who designed special “My Cause My Cleats” shoes.

Tennessee Titans safety Xavier Woods, award-winning artist Catherine Benita, and her mother Yanti join "Good Morning Football" to highlight some of the causes and designs used in the My Cause My Cleats initiative for the 2025 NFL season.
