Buffalo Bills’ Safety Damar Hamlin listened right.
“I heard some people were in an uproar,” Hamlin remarked when asked about coming in second in the NFL Comeback Player of the Year vote.
Despite surviving an on-field cardiac collapse and returning to play less than a year later, Hamlin finished second to quarterback Joe Flacco, who emerged from his couch to lead the Cleveland Browns to a 4-1 stretch run.
“I did feel like I earned the prize a little bit since, as you know, I am a competitor myself. “I want to win any competition you put me in,” Hamlin stated during an April 19 guest appearance on Infinity’s Maggie and Perloff Show.
Nine months after the horrific sights on Monday Night Football, Hamlin shown enough physical and emotional strength to suit up for another NFL game. He made his season debut in a Week 4 home triumph over the Miami Dolphins and went on to play 111 regular-season snaps and 44 more in the playoffs.
The 26-year-old Hamlin, who was taken in the sixth round in 2021, has no bad emotions toward Flacco for winning the championship.
