His ability to make a full recovery and continue playing the sport he loves is a testament to his resilience and determination.

Hamlin shared the following in a statement:

Now that my brothers have closed out a strong winning season, and I continue to make so much progress recovering, I think it’s finally a good time to share a few things. I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time as it was just a lot to process within my own self, mentally, physically, even spiritually.

What happened to me on Monday Night Football was a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world, and I’m able to give it back to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most. And that’s always been my dream. That’s always been what I’ve stood for and I will continue to stand for.

While I’m so thankful to everybody, I know that it isn’t enough just to be thankful. This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world, and with God’s guidance I will continue to do wonderful and great things.

Recently, Hamlin embarked on a collaborative effort with the American Heart Association to raise awareness and promote education about CPR. In recognition of his efforts, he was awarded the prestigious Alan Page Community award from the NFL Players Association on Wednesday.

This recognition is the NFLPA’s highest honor, and serves as a testament to Hamlin’s impact both on and off the field.
