Cal Adomitis, a former teammate of Hamlin, wasn’t surprised by the Heisman Trophy winner’s sportsmanship. He said, “Even though he was a dude who had 8 billion offers coming out of high school and I was just fighting to get on the field, he always treated me with respect… No matter what your role on the team was, he treated you with the same dignity.”

Later, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor also visited Damar Hamlin in the hospital.

Joe Burrow was included in the 2020 NFL draft and picked first overall by the Bengals. Previously, he played for Ohio State and LSU Tigers at the college level.
