Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin accepted the NFL Players Association’s Alan Page Award on Wednesday in Arizona, site of the upcoming Super Bowl.
The award annually recognizes one player who goes above and beyond to perform community service in his team city and/or hometown.
Hamlin was one of five finalists.
After Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision, he went into cardiac arrest this season. The grim situation was saved by members of the Bills’ medical staff and Hamlin has since been discharged from the hospital.
Hamlin will receive $100,000 from the NFLPA for his charity, which received thousands of dollars in donations from across the country during his recovery.
A clip of Hamlin receiving his award can be found below:
