The NFL is partnering with the American Heart Association and American Red Cross to promote CPR education after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest Jan. 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement that the partnerships with the AHA and Red Cross "will ensure even more people have the capability to administer CPR and respond to emergencies."
"Being able to deliver care in emergency situations is not just important at sporting events, but in all walks of life. ... The tools and trainings exist to keep young athletes safe—we embrace our responsibility to ensure that knowledge is in as many hands as possible for the greatest positive impact," Goodell said.
