Damar Hamlin's Statement
"Now that my brothers have closed out a strong winning season," he began. "As I continue to make so much progress recovering, I think it's finally a good time to share a few things. I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time, as it was just a lot to process within my own self. Mentally, physically, even spiritually, it's just been a lot to process. But I can't tell you how appreciative I am of all the love, all the support, and everything that's just been coming in my way.
"What happened to me on Monday Night Football I feel is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world. I'm able to give it to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most, and that's always been my dream. That's always been what I stood for and what I'll continue to stand for."
Later, the Bills star went on to thank the medical teams at the Bills organization, the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and Buffalo General Hospital. Also, he thanked his mom, dad, little brother, and friends and family for their unwavering presence. While Hamlin processed a lot in a short time, he thanked people from every corner of his recovery. Moreover, he thanked his teammates, NFL fans, and many others.
