Last January, the hearts of football and sports fans sank when Damar Hamlin vanished. on the grass of the stadium of the Cincinnati Bengals. The rapid action of the medical services deployed on the Paul Brown Stadium managed to restore the pulse of the young player of only 25 years. Days later, it was all good news as the Buffalo Bills defender was released from the hospital where he was admitted, but a question arose: could Damar Hamlin play again in the NFL?
After being discharged last April, the answer seems increasingly clear. The Buffalo Bills began their preseason training sessions and, among them, was Damar Hamlin who received the most applause from the fans. The defender is a clear example of improvement for his followers due to his closeness and sacrifice.
After finishing the first day of training his teammates were full of praise for him. “With Damar’s situation, we will always go at his pace. He has our full support,” commented Sean McDermott, the Buffalo Bills coach. In turn, Stefon Diggs added that “it’s great to have him back.” Damar Hamlin will have to fight for a spot in a talent-packed defense against Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Taylor Rapp and Dean Marlowe.
Damar Hamlin and Bronny James, united by their medical condition
Last Tuesday it was known that, in training with the University of Southern California, Bronny James, son of LeBron James, had to be rushed to the hospital due to cardiac arrest. When Damar Hamlin collapsed, the Lakers star was quick to offer selfless help. For this reason, the Bills defender has not hesitated to offer his support to the James family in these difficult times. Damar Hamlin has to be a mirror in which Bronny James has to look at himself thanks to his struggle to return to his pre-cardiac arrest condition.
