Hours after one of the most frightening events in NFL history, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Patriots safety Devin McCourty along with several other NFL players are providing financial contributions and support to an important cause for Demar Hamlin.
During the first quarter of Buffalo’s game against the Bengals on Monday Night Football, Hamlin made a tackle on Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins, returned to his feet before collapsing on the field. CPR was administered to Hamlin before the ambulance drove onto the field and later took him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he is currently in critical condition.
In the following hours, players like Brady, McCourty and others have donated to Hamlin’s charity toy drive for the Chasing M’s Foundation. Brady donated $10,000 to Hamlin’s cause while McCourty and other Patriots players—Lawrence Guy, Brian Hoyer and Marcus Jones—submitted donations to the safety’s charity efforts.
