Minnesota Vikings' tight end Kyle Rudolph probably got teased a lot as a child around the holiday season with the last name of a popular Christmas character. You might even say the other kids "never let poor Rudolph, join in any reindeer games..."
When you're a professional football player, you commonly get the last laugh about things, and in the case Rudolph was maybe teased as a child, these Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer cleats would be a fun way to prove the haters wrong.
In reality, it's probably just a clever way for him to show his Christmas spirit, and we love it!
Who knows... maybe Hermey made the cleats in Santa's Workshop before becoming a dentist?
