Dak Prescott gets it.

This weekend, the Dallas Cowboys' star quarterback took some time to meet with the family of William Durr, a Mississippi police offer killed in a May shooting.

It was a surprise for 10-year-old Nash Durr, William's son, who was told they were going to a botanical garden. The family supports Mississippi State, Dak's alma mater, so they're fans of the 23-year-old quarterback, who became a star in Dallas following Tony Romo's injury last year.

Therese Apel of the Clarion-Ledger wrote about Prescott's encounter with the family:

Nash and his family posed for pictures with his sports hero. The family said that while their hearts are still broken over the loss of William Durr, Prescott's kindness to take some time out for them brought them a little happiness.

Prescott, who lost his mother during his career at MSU, seemed to reflect a little of Durr's personality as well—the deputy was known for taking his time to interact with young people.
