Atlanta Falcons Partner with Ottobock for Inclusive Adaptive Sports Day

The Atlanta Falcons have joined forces with Ottobock, a global prosthetics manufacturer, to host the first-ever Adaptive Sports Day. This event, held ahead of the Falcons' home opener against the Carolina Panthers, aimed to provide a platform for individuals living with limb loss to experience the thrill of football once again.

Participants, like 13-year-old Dylan Reems, were fitted with custom prosthetic running blades and received clinical support from Ottobock specialists. Dylan, who lost his leg in a 2025 motorcycle accident, expressed his joy at being able to return to the sport he loves. The event featured movement sessions, relays, and football drills led by former Falcons wide receiver Michael Haynes, four-time Paralympian Jarryd Wallace, and KD Hill, a former SEC defensive tackle and below-knee amputee.

This partnership marks the Falcons' commitment to inclusivity and supporting the community. The event not only provided a fun and engaging experience but also helped build confidence and a sense of belonging among participants.
