Considering the relationship professional athletes have with the game of golf in between seasons and post-career, it's not surprising to see the outpour for the legendary Arnold Palmer following his passing on Sunday. When Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown takes the field this Sunday, he'll take his tribute to the King to the next level.

Previewed on his Instagram page, Brown will wear custom Nike cleats bearing Palmer's face against the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown has already been fined and threatened with a benching for wearing custom cleats in games this season, so it'll be interesting to see how far into Sunday night these actually make it. Nevertheless, a classy gesture by one of the game's best.
