đ REPORT: Billsâ Damar Hamlin Named Finalist for NFL Comeback Player of the Year
In a twist that can only be described as âthe most dramatic comeback since every superhero movie ever made,â Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Billsâ safety, has been named a finalist for the NFLâs Comeback Player of the Year.
For those of you who may have missed it, Hamlinâs story is nothing short of Hollywood material. After experiencing a heart-stopping incident on the field last seasonâliterallyâheâs somehow managed to claw his way back into the leagueâs good graces. Forget about his talent on the field for a second; itâs his sheer will to survive (and recover from the literal life-threatening situation) that has caught everyoneâs attention.
Sure, he could have been an amazing player on his own merit, but why not make the whole thing a bit more dramatic? After all, what says âComeback Playerâ better than surviving a medical emergency on national television and returning to play a contact sport?
As the NFLâs official selection process continues, we can only wonder if the award ceremony will feature a slow-motion montage of Hamlin emerging from the tunnelâcue the emotional music and cheering crowds.
Keep an eye out for the final decision, but hey, if he wins, weâll all be standing up to applaud⌠mostly because itâs kind of impossible not to. After all, how often do you get to see a real-life miracle on the football field?
