The sporting world has been stunned by the tragic events that occurred on Monday night, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans has used it to reflect on his own approach to the game.
Monday's clash between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was brought to a halt in the first quarter as Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field. The incident occurred shortly after colliding with Tee Higgins when making a tackle, and the game was then postponed as Hamlin was rushed to hospital.
The league has been stunned ever since, and it's been particularly emotional for members of the Bills and the Bengals, who experienced it first hand. It's likely that some players may be slightly more cautious going into tackles moving forward after what happened to Hamlin, but Evans is not one of them, as he expressed he now wants to go harder into hits.
