Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin delivered a message of thanks - to Bills trainer Denny Kellington, who was credited with saving Hamlin's life on the field at Cincinnati's Paycor Stadium earlier this month by administering CPR after Hamlin's cardiac arrest and collapse, as well as first responders, UC Medical Center staff and many others - in a video posted Saturday night on his Instagram account.
Hamlin also specifically thanked the city of Cincinnati, the Bengals and the entire NFL "for putting team allegiance aside to root for one kid's life and just the humanity of a player that's wearing Buffalo blue."
"You put humanity above team loyalty," Hamlin continued. "You showed the world unity over division. I'm not surprised by it, but I'm deeply grateful. And I'll be forever thankful and indebted for that."
Hamlin's Instagram post included the caption, "from the heart - sincerely 3":
Hamlin was at Highmark Stadium last Sunday for his team's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the divisional round. He met with his teammates in the locker room before the game and at halftime, and was shown on the video board sitting in a suite, drawing a loud reaction from fans at the game.
