The National Football League is built on relationships between players, coaches, executives, and support staff. If you didn’t know that was the case, you haven’t been watching the news the past week.
A week ago tomorrow, Bills safety and former Pitt Panther Damar Hamlin collapsed after suffering cardiac arrest after taking a hit to the chest in Buffalo’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. His heartbeat was restored on the field, and he was transferred to the ICU at a University of Cincinnati Medical center. He remained in critical condition for several days, but has shown vast improvement since the initial injury, being awake and neurologically intact.
