Damar Hamlin is speaking to the public for the first time on camera since his life-threatening health scare on the field — and he has a lot to say … including a ton of thank-yous.
The Bills safety posted a video Saturday, where he’s sitting down and venting his thoughts in his own words … and it’s pretty touching. He describes the terrifying hit he took on MNF as somewhat of a blessing — saying he feels as though it served as a vessel to inspire others.

DH says he believes, through that tough time, he was able to put his passion for the game of football on display … which he thinks will serve others going forward, especially kids.
He also thinks this was a great example of humanity over everything … with all teams across the NFL coming together to support Damar through his healing journey. Damar also heaped a lot of gratitude and praise for several individuals … starting with the Bills medical staff.

Damar went down the list of team doctors and personnel who were on the field that day and worked on him … rendering CPR and other life-saving measures. He went on to thank the doctors at the hospitals he was at, his teammates, Bills Mafia at large and the NFL as well.
Of course, he gave a nod to everyone who was sending him well-wishes … including the folks who donated millions of dollars to his toy drive. Damar says it helped him recover.
Thankful for all the GENUINE love, thoughts & prayers from all across the world.. y’all will hear from me soon! 3️⃣🫶🏾
