Damar Hamlin received the NFLPA’s highest honor Wednesday when the union announced he is the recipient of this year’s Alan Page Community award.
The other four finalists included Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones, Commanders tackle Charles Leno Jr., Raiders tight end Darren Waller and Buccaneers linebacker Devin White. All five were weekly Community MVPs at some point during the season. For Hamlin, his time came during Week 18 after he went into cardiac arrest a week prior. Donations flooded into his Christmas toy drive, reaching nearly $5.5 million within the first 24 hours after his medical emergency.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the GoFundMe page has raised more than $9 million for the Chasing M’s Foundation toy drive.
