Watch: Golden Tate asks breast cancer patients to sign cleats for Sunday

Many fans will often go to great lengths to get an autograph from an NFL player, but Golden Tate flipped the script this week.

The Detroit Lions receiver had breast cancer patients and survivors sign his cleats for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

This isn't the first time Tate has worn cleats with an important message on them this season. The 29-year-old wore cleats to honor the first responders of 9/11 back in Week 1.
