The NFL is giving Damar Hamlin another tip of the cap, granting the Buffalo Bills safety the award for overcoming the most adversity this season.
Now, “adversity” is a euphemism for what Hamlin experienced on the field on Jan. 2 as a budding safety in the league. Suffering from Commotio Cordis, Hamlin suddenly collapsed on the field at Paycor Stadium from a routine tackle on Bengals wideout Tee Higgins.
