The NFL may have strict rules against players wearing custom cleats during games, but Cordarrelle Patterson found a way around them: custom socks.

The Vikings receiver took the field on Sunday wearing socks that had a picture of himself on them.

Perhaps this is the kind of confidence boost the Vikings need on offense. Because nothing screams confidence like wearing socks with yourself on them.
