During the NFL Awards, Damar Hamlin shared the stage with the first responders who revived him after an on-field cardiac arrest
star Sheryl Lee Ralph introduced the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals athletic training staffs along with University of Cincinnati Health Center medical professionals on the stage at Phoenix Convention Center’s Symphony Hall. As Hamlin joined them, the crowd of NFL players and celebrities gave the Buffalo Bills safety a standing ovation.
“First I would like to just thank God for even being here,” Hamlin began. “Sudden cardiac arrest was nothing I would’ve ever chosen to be a part of my story. But that’s because sometimes, our own visions are too small. My vision was about playing in the NFL and being the best player I could be. But God’s plan was to have a purpose greater than any game in this world.”
“I want to give a special thank you to everyone on this stage for everything they did for me,” he continued. “And thank you to everyone around the world who prayed for me and hoped for me. The journey will continue.”
