In the video, which Hamlin posted on his Instagram account on Saturday, he says he’s grateful for the outpouring of support he’s received and vows to give it back in some way.
Damar Hamlin says now is the right time to talk about what happened, partly because the Buffalo Bills’ season is over and partly because he needed time to recover and collect his thoughts.
— There has been a lot to deal with within me – mentally, physically and spiritually. But I can tell you how grateful I am for all the love, all the support that has been directed at me, says Hamlin.
He also says he accepted what happened on the field when he collapsed after a tackle and a puck to the chest from Tee Higgins of the opposing Bengals.
