*A lot of folks, for some reason, didn’t believe Damar Hamlin was still alive even after he was seen at the Bills-Bengals playoff game last weekend. It seems that for some folks because the incapacitated NFLer was all covered up from head to toe and couldn’t be seen clearly through the windows in the luxury booth he was a guest in, they didn’t want to believe he was literally still with the living. Or at least not hospitalized.
Well, all that changed as of tonight (01-28-23) because Damar Hamlin is giving out thanks. And he’s doing it via social media where you CLEARLY SEE and HEAR him.
That’s right. This is the first time Hamlin has spoken publicly since he went into cardiac arrest when the Buffalo Bills played the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2.
The Bills safety thanked the people who supported him on Saturday in a heartwarming video posted by Buffalo’s Twitter account.
“I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time as there was a lot to process within my own self,” the 24-year-old said at the start of the video. “I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of all the love and support and everything that’s just been coming 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.”

In the video, Hamlin thanked a number of people, including the Bills training staff and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center staff. Without them he really would be among the living.
Bills trainers resuscitated Hamlin after he collapsed. The safety later stayed at the Cincinnati hospital afterward, where he was taken off a breathing tube within just a few days.
“While I’m so thankful for everybody, I know that it isn’t enough just to be thankful,” Hamlin said.
Damar added: “This is just the beginning of the impact I wanted to have on the world… I couldn’t do this without any of the support and the love and I can’t wait to continue to take y’all on this journey with me.”
Then, at the end of his talk, a smiling Hamlin then put up his hands to form a heart – his signature sign.
