Tattoos are an artistic expression of one’s own personality, feelings and inspiration. For Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, tattoos have a much deeper and personal meaning – like the lion cartoon on his shoulder, drawn by his mother. In the lion tattoo, the Cowboys signal caller carries along the memory of his mother Peggy who died in 2013 from cancer.

Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick, a three-time All-Pro, missed all of the 2018 season with Guillain-Barré Syndrome – an autoimmune disorder that can cause paralysis and even death in some patients. Though Frederick never experienced these specific symptoms, he suffered a severe loss of strength and fine motor control. More than a year later, Frederick has worked his way back to health and back in the middle of the Cowboys offensive line, a centerpiece who touches the ball in every play on the offense.
