Speaking on SiriusXM Wednesday, Dr. Thom Mayer revealed that he 'guaranteed' Hamlin would see an NFL field again. 'I guarantee you that Damar Hamlin will play professional football again,' Mayer said on SiriusXM Doctor Radio's 'Heart to Heart' program. It comes just over a month after Hamlin collapsed on the field, playing for the Buffalo Bills against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2. Hamlin made a brief appearance in Phoenix during Super Bowl week to receive the NFLPA's Alan Page Community Award. The Bills defensive-back received the award at the Phoenix Convention Center on Wednesday. 'One of my favorite quotes: it´s a blessing to be a blessing,' Hamlin said, reading from a brief statement with his parents on stage with him. 'With that being said, I plan to never take this position for granted and always have an urgent approach to making a difference in the community where I come from and also communities across the world.' Hamlin's toy drive fundraiser received unexpected GoFundMe donations in the days and weeks after he collapsed. Chasing M´s has since raised more than $9 million. 'Giving back to my community has always been a part of who I am,' Hamlin said. 'I'm thankful for my father, who´s right here behind me, growing up watching him doing community days in our community. I always was waiting on my time when it came.'
