An endowment partner, VetJobs, helped Capri transition from military service to a rewarding civilian career. He now operates a childcare center, coaches football and is passionate about giving back to his community.
Metcalf will sport a pair of the custom cleats designed for Capri and his service for America when the Steelers take on the Bills at Acrisure Stadium.
It’s the 10th straight year the NFL is allowing players to showcase charitable causes during a game through cleat designs.
