It is salient to note that while the players surrounded the 26-year-old, Hamlin couldn’t move from his position on the side. Reflecting an emotional side of his, Hamlin sat inactive with his head down as the medics helped Harris on the stretcher. It isn’t far-fetched to predict that the reaction is directly related to the incident faced by the 25-year-old at the start of this year.
The incident took place in a match against the Cincinnati Bengals. During the “Monday Night Football” game, the Bills’ safety suffered a cardiac arrest while making a tackle and had to be taken off the grounds. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for additional tests and care. This time as well, as the ambulance came forth, it highlighted Hamlin’s jersey on its rear doors.
