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.
Bills’ Damar Hamlin selected as PFWA 2023 George Halas Award winner. The award is given to player, coach or staff member who overcomes most adversity to then find success.
