Inspiration comes from many different kinds of people and injured Giants star Jason Pierre-Paul is drawing his from a 5-year-old girl with a robotic hand who threw out the first pitch at the Orioles game on Monday.
Dawson was born with Poland Syndrome, which has caused her right hand to not fully develop. The hand she used Monday to throw the ceremonial first pitch to Manny Machado was made by UNLV students using a 3-D printer.

JPP had his right index finger amputated and the full extent of his injuries isn’t entirely clear as the Giants haven’t been able to see him yet. He has yet to sign his one-year, $14.8 million franchise contract either.
But it does open up conversation of how far a player can take the use of prosthetics in the NFL.
