22-year-old Dean Stewart claimed that he did not know what kind or how much dope was stuffed in the hollowed-out limbs when he boarded Air Jamaica Flight 15 to Kennedy Airport last November.
He acknowledged that he was given the drugs to carry but stated that he did not touch it.
U.S. marshals brought Stewart to court in a wheelchair because federal agents seized his prosthetic limbs, which were filled with about 2.2 pounds of cocaine.
Customs inspectors at John F. Kennedy Airport became suspicious of Stewart because his round-trip ticket had been purchased in cash only three days earlier.
He had also made three brief visits to the U.S. last summer.
Stewart faces 24 to 37 months in prison under his plea deal.
