Adam Thielen is turning one amazing gesture into two … the Minnesota Vikings star is now auctioning off his Alex Trebek tribute cleats to raise money for pancreatic cancer research.
The 30-year-old wide receiver rocked the spikes for a game just days after the “Jeopardy!” host died in November — and the homage was awesome.
One of the cleats featured an image of Trebek with a halo. The other had a painted-on “Jeopardy!” style placard that read, “We Will Miss You, Alex.”
Now, Thielen is taking the cool tribute one step further … announcing Friday he’s going to sell the footwear with all of the proceeds slated to help the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network find a cure.
As we previously reported, Trebek died due to the disease … and urged “Jeopardy!” audience members just days before his passing to be wary of symptoms and get tested.
