Damar Hamlin turned 25 on Friday in another milestone for the Buffalo Bills safety as he continues his recovery from an on-field cardiac arrest during a January game in Cincinnati.
'Turning 25 @ midnight,' Hamlin tweeted Thursday night before posting a picture of his birthday cake on Twitter. 'So much to be thankful for.'
That's certainly an understatement.
Hamlin needed to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati before being rushed to a local hospital for emergency surgery on January 2, and has since undergone months of rehabilitation as his NFL future remains up in the air.
He has since made numerous appearances around the country, including during the Super Bowl festivities in Arizona, where he received the NFLPA's Alan Page Community Award. He also took part in a pregame ceremony in which the NFL honored the Bills and Bengals training and medical staffs and first responders who treated the Pittsburgh native.
