It remains absolutely remarkable that Damar Hamlin is alive and set to play football this fall after what happened earlier this year.
Hamlin’s scary collapse during a Monday Night Football game in early January rocked the sports world and it was thanks to the ministrations of the Buffalo Bills training staff that the safety is still with us. On Wednesday, Hamlin made an appearance at the 2023 ESPYs, which honored the best and brightest of the sports world over the last year.
During the show, Hamlin presented the Pat Tillman Award for Service to the Bills training staff who saved his life and got quite teary eyed doing so.
