That was terrifying watching that. I pray that young man gets better. This shows, life is more than a game. Football is a game, which is also dangerous. The NFL did the right thing, postponing the game.

A few of his players know Damar Hamlin personally, and McVay says if they don't feel ready to play this weekend he fully supports them.

Here is Bobby Wagner discussing how players and coaches can process what happened to Damar Hamlin and balance what they’re feeling with what they do for a living. “Talking about your feelings, things that affect you …(is) more manly than anything. It takes a lot of courage.” pic.twitter.com/PMGQdhTDqn

One hero who should be recognized here: Last night, I was told the work of Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington in administering CPR to Damar Hamlin on Monday was absolutely vital. The speed and skill with which he and others reacted = A huge difference-maker.

Ive always been surprised there isnt more of this in the NFL. Such a collision-sport.

My guess is that whatever caused this was a condition or something he already had. The collision triggered it and set it off, but that this is not something that would happen to everyone playing the game.
