Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is paying tribute to his late mother, Peggy, on Sunday by wearing a pair of cleats bearing her name.

Peggy passed away Nov. 3, 2013 following a year-and-a-half-long battle with colon cancer.

"Losing my mom and watching her fight, I allowed that to motivate me and to be my story and the reason I got up and did what I did every day," Prescott told The MMQB's Jenny Vrentas in a piece published last month.

"As much as I can raise awareness and educate people on how to get ahead of cancer, the fact of showing how to make your adversity your inspiration is probably more significant. How to use something to make you a better person, or to think positive about it or to take the better route because of it, is what I think I can do more than anything."
