Bills WATCH: Damar Hamlin Honored at Super Bowl, Links With Eagles RB Miles Sanders
As the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs look to battle it out at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday at State Farm Stadium, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was honored prior to kickoff.
Hamlin, who suffered from on-field cardiac arrest on Jan. 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, has continued his recovery while making some recent public appearances.
His appearance at the Super Bowl is a triumph for both him and the first responders who aided in saving his life. Both they and Hamlin were honored with a special shout-out on the field, all while embracing one another.
Cameras also caught Hamlin sharing a wholesome moment with longtime friend and Eagles running back Miles Sanders. Both native Pennsylvanians, Sanders and Hamlin have made sure to make their friendship known throughout Hamlin's recovery.
Take a look:
Sunday marks the second time in a week that Hamlin has been honored alongside heroic first responders.
At NFL Honors on Thursday, he delivered an emotional speech with members of the Bills, Bengals and University of Cincinnati Medical Center medical teams surrounding him.
"My entire life, I felt like God was using me to give others hope," Hamlin said. "And now with a new set of circumstances, I can only say he's doing what he's always done. I have a long journey ahead. A journey full of unknowns and a journey full of milestones, but it's a lot easier to face your fears when you know your purpose."
