Bills safety Damar Hamlin posted a detailed “thank you” message on Instagram Saturday where he listed group by group who has helped him since his cardiac arrest earlier this month during a Monday Night Football game against the Bengals.
“While I’m so thankful to everybody, I know that it isn’t enough just to be thankful,” Hamlin said in the video. “This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world, and with God’s guidance I will continue to do wonderful and great things.”
Though the 24-year-old has posted on social media over the last few weeks, this is the first time Hamlin has spoken publicly since his injury. He collapsed after making what appeared to be a routine tackle, was administered CPR and transported to a local hospital in Cincinnati, where he stayed for several days.
