    Pink isn’t a color that usually makes its way into the game of football, but Titans running back Chris Johnson will do his part to change that on Sunday in Jacksonville.

    Johnson plans to wear pink cleats and gloves, doing his part to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

    “It is not about manly and football, it is about breast cancer. So you are just supporting them basically,’’ Johnson said. “We are showing everybody out there who has breast cancer we support them.’’

    All NFL teams will join in wearing everything from pink cleats, wristbands, gloves, sideline caps, helmet decals. Coaches are also expected to wear pink caps and pink ribbon pins. Goalposts will be wrapped in pink padding.

    Tight end Bo Scaife and quarterback Vince Young are also among the players expected to wear pink, though not every player will take part.

    “I am looking for a pink mouthpiece, something like that to do it all out,’’ Johnson said. “Pink everywhere.’’

    I support woman fighting any kind of cancer, especially breast cancer. My aunt died several years ago from breast cancer. It'll be different seeing pink during all of this months games, but it is for a good cause. Good for C.J. to look past the color and see its more important meaning. It's good to see the high profile players getting involved.

    Huh? This is a league-wide initiative. Certain players (the more prominent ones) were asked by the league to wear pink.
