Damar Hamlin has sent a message to Bronny James after the teen suffered a terrifying cardiac arrest. But it was the same thing?
Buffalo Bills safety Hamlin, 25, suffered the same thing while playing in an NFL game earlier this year. He collapsed during the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals and was rushed to a local hospital.
Hamlin has made a full recovery after being in critical condition and hopes to play again.
He tweeted on Tuesday: “Prayers for Bronny and the James family too. Here for you guys just as you have been for me my whole process.” After being rushed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Jan. 2, Hamlin didn’t wake up until two nights later, spending a week in its intensive care unit.
In April, after being cleared to play, Hamlin revealed that he planned to return to the NFL, adding, “The event changed my life, but it’s not the end of my story.”
Bronny, meanwhile, suffered a cardiac arrest while training at the University of Southern California. Bronny was unconscious and received treatment at the scene and was later taken by ambulance to hospital.
