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