Wright’s mother, Jeanette, is doing well today, but Wright knows that not everyone who suffers from the disease is as lucky as her.


“She’s doing well,” Wright said. “For the most part, right now she’s been doing good, but I think as you steadily get older and it goes on, I think it has more effect on you.”


Edge rusher Marquis Haynes will also be donning a special pair of cleats in Atlanta – a royal blue and white pair covered with words of encouragement. For Haynes, he sees Sunday as an opportunity to take a stand against bullying.


The idea first came to Haynes while he was scrolling through social media and saw viral videos of students starting fights in schools.


“I’ve been standing up to bullying since I was in fifth grade,” Haynes said. “Every time I saw someone getting bullied growing up, I always came to help them. That’s always been me. I hate seeing that.”
