In response to the query, Diggs discussed his experience of being present on the field at that time and discussed Hamlin’s current medical condition.
Diggs, the all-pro wide receiver, shared that he personally witnessed the deaths of his many closed people, but witnessing the sudden fall of a young star on the field is something else. Diggs kept on saying that when he saw Hamlin’s heart monitor flatlined twice, the defibrillator was used on him so that he could respond, and luckily, he did.
This wide receiver remarked that it was like a movie where people returned from near death and expressed utmost happiness for Hamlin’s survival. Later on, he voiced his regret over the fact that he had been unable to help Hamlin at the moment.
After that terrible thing happened, they called off the match. Diggs said the decision to call off the contest was understandable in the circumstances, but he still hoped it would be played through since he assumed Hamlin would have wanted to keep the match going. After getting the sense, Hamlin questioned if they won the game, proving Digg’s prediction correct.
Hamlin seems to have fully recovered, and he was seen at the Super Bowl in Arizona, which gave fans hope that the Bills’ safety might be back on the field soon.
