When Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White steps onto AT&T Stadium’s field on Thursday, his late cousin NuNu will be with him.

White wanted a way to honor his cousin who lost her life in 2018 and came up with the idea of placing her picture on his cleats for today’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Today would have been NuNu’s 25th birthday.

Mike Jordan, a New Jersey based custom artist for MLB and NFL players, shared pictures of the cleats on Instagram and Twitter. The red, white and blue cleats not only feature NuNu’s picture, but also wish her a happy birthday and come with a message that says, “Miss you always, Love you forever.”

White, currently in his third season with the Bills, is having his best season of his already impressive career. Buffalo’s No. 1 cornerback has regularly been able to shutdown the No. 1 wide receiver on opposing teams this season when the Bills are in man coverage. His latest performance was limiting Denver’s Courtland Sutton to just one catch in last week’s game against the Broncos.

Entering Thursday’s game, White has 50 total tackles, one sack, 13 passes defensed, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. White has been one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks this season and his play is finally getting some much deserved recognition.

.@BuffaloBills @TreWhite16 @NFL it’s time to recognize TRE’ as one of the elite CB’s in this league. He takes the other team’s #1 every week and practically eliminates him. Just one of the really good young players in this 8-3 BB TEAM! And they are a TEAM. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/6GmqSYQFr3 — Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) November 25, 2019

White will likely be asked to shadow Amari Cooper later today when the Bills are in man coverage.
