It was a touching moment at the 2023 ESPYs when Damar Hamlin tearfully presented the Buffalo Bills staffers with the Pat Tillman Award for Service. The award, established in 2014 and named after the late NFL player and veteran Pat Tillman, honors those who have gone above and beyond in their service to others.
The presentation was made possible by a video tribute that showed Hamlin recalling the unfortunate incident that prompted cardiac arrest in the 25-year-old. In the video, he spoke of the importance of human connection and the desire to help someone whose life depends on it.
Following the video, the staffers joined Hamlin on stage to accept the award. The Bills franchise’s head trainer, Nate Breske, expressed his admiration for Hamlin and urged athletic teams and the general population to engage in widespread CPR training.
The incident shocked the sports world, but inspired prayers across the nation for the health and well-being of the young player. Since then, Hamlin has been cleared to return to the NFL, and is currently attending and participating in practices during the off-season.
The Pat Tillman Award for Service honors those who have gone above and beyond in their service to others, and the Buffalo Bills staffers are a perfect example of that. Damar Hamlin’s touching tribute and words of wisdom will surely be remembered for years to come.
