Well this is shocking news, to say the least. Our prayers are with him, and we're extremely happy that the doctor's prognosis is good. Hamm is the second signee from the 2016 recruiting class, alongside Tashawn Manning, to be diagnosed with cancer.

Manning, who is dealing with acute promyelocytic leukemia, recently asked his girlfriend to prom in a rather heart-warming way while dealing with his chemotherapy.
