MY CAUSE MY CLEATS · NOVEMBER 2026

THREE NFL PLAYERS CHOSE A BED FOR EVERY KID.

This month, Ji’Ayir Brown, Tyler Warren and Terrance Ferguson are taking Sleep in Heavenly Peace onto the field as the cause on their custom cleats. Every bed we build goes to a child ages 3-17 who is sleeping on a floor, a sofa or an air mattress.

MEET THE PLAYERS BEHIND THE CLEATS

Each year during My Cause My Cleats, NFL players wear custom-designed cleats that spotlight a cause close to them. These three picked ours.

CLEATS CAUSE: SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE

27

JI’AYIR BROWN

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS · SAFETY

Known as “Tig” since he was a toddler, Brown starred at Trenton Central High, played junior college ball at Lackawanna, then moved on to Penn State. He was the defensive MVP of the 2023 Rose Bowl and was drafted by the 49ers that spring.

This summer he sanded boards at his old high school for a Community Bed Build. It grew into a multi-year partnership between SHP and the Ji’Ayir Brown Foundation, and he serves as our Bunkhead Club Ambassador. His cleats are co-designed to represent both organizations.

Tyler Warren

Indianapolis Colts · Tight End

Warren won the 2024 John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end at Penn State, where he also took snaps at quarterback in a versatile role. The Colts picked him 14th overall in 2025.

He finished his rookie year with 76 catches for 817 yards and four touchdowns.

Warren is joining the SHP roster as an ambassador for our Indiana chapters. With 14 chapters across the state, his support will help shine a light on the volunteers already building beds for Hoosier kids.

Terrance Ferguson

Los Angeles · Tight End

Before the Rams selected him 46th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Terrance was a standout tight end for the Oregon Ducks, a program whose players have rolled up their sleeves at four SHP bed builds.

When the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats campaign rolled around, Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (#18) knew exactly who to draft. He’d already built beds with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) in Eugene as an Oregon Duck, so SHP was a natural first pick. Then he added a twist: instead of handing his cleat design to a pro, he wanted the inspiration drawn by a child who had received a bed from SHP.
