As the football world anxiously awaited an update on the status of Bills safety Damar Hamlin, wide receiver Stefon Diggs took the extra step to be alongside his teammate.
Hamlin collapsed on the field during Monday night’s game between Buffalo and Cincinnati, where he was administered CPR and ultimately taken off in an ambulance. He was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was deemed to be in critical condition.
According to ESPN’s Coley Harvey, Diggs arrived at the hospital and was told by a police officer on the scene he was not allowed inside. After reportedly telling the officer, “I need to be there for my teammate,” he was allowed in.
