NFL star, Damar Hamlin has revealed that he wants to return to the football field as he was presented on field alongside the medical staff who saved his life at Super Bowl LVII.
The Buffalo Bills safety told Good Morning America‘s Michael Strahan that his goal is to return following his on-field.
‘Eventually, that’s always the goal,’ Hamlin said in an interview that will run Monday morning February 13 on ABC.
‘As a competitor, I’m trying to do things just to keep advancing my situation. But allowing that in God’s hands. I’m just thankful he’s giving me a second chance.’
Hamlin was speaking in his first interview since being resuscitated on the Paycor Stadium turf by Bills medical staff.
He collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins on January 2.
According to DailyMail, the 24-year-old has spent much of the last two months recovering in Western New York, and made a brief appearance at a Bills-Bengals playoff game in Orchard Park, waving to fans from a luxury suite atop the Highmark Stadium crowd.
Bills medical staffer Denny Kellington successfully resuscitated him by performing CPR for roughly nine minutes before Hamlin was rushed to a Cincinnati hospital.
He was later transferred to a Buffalo medical facility and has since been discharged, EB confirms.
Hamlin was joined on stage at the the NFL Honors Thursday night and they all received a warm welcome from the crowd at State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona Sunday night.
