QB Dak Prescott designs custom art for 9-year-old Cowboys fan's new prosthetic leg
A 9-year-old Dallas Cowboys fan named Kaysin Potts recently received a new prosthetic leg with custom artwork designed by the Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott and his friend Jeremiah Jhass. Prescott collaborated with Scottish Rite for Children, a non-profit pediatric orthopedic hospital in Dallas to create the unique leg for Potts.
Prescott loved how the prosthetic leg turned out and having matching art with Potts. Prescott sent Potts a heartfelt message, letting him know that he inspires the quarterback.
“What’s up, Kaysin, buddy? That’s truly humbling to see that. Some of my tattoos right here are there on your leg, your new leg. That’s awesome, man. You’re inspiring me,” Prescott said in a video posted to social media.
The Dallas Cowboys extended an invitation to Potts and his family to visit their headquarters and practice facility, The Star in Frisco, after he was gifted the new prosthetic leg.
Potts showcased his new leg art and got the chance to meet Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Prescott greeted Potts with a warm hug, a big smile, a new Cowboys jersey and gameday hand warmer.
Prescott and Lamb also added another personal touch to Potts' new prosthetic leg by signing it.

What is Amniotic Band Syndrome
According to Fox 4 KDFW in north Texas, Potts was born with amniotic band syndrome.
Amniotic band syndrome is a condition that occurs when fibrous bands in the amniotic sac become entangled around a developing fetus. This can lead to swelling and may cut off the flow of blood or disrupt the proper growth of affected body parts. In severe cases, the constriction may even result in an in-utero amputation.
What causes amniotic band syndrome is unknown and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provides more information on this condition.
