NFL CELEBRITY NEWS:Travis Kelce’s Gesture for Damar Hamlin as Josh Allen’s Bills Teammate Bursts Into Tears After Pat Tillman Award

For Damar Hamlin, life has come full circle. He had hoped to win awards in the league until that unfortunate day. During the week 17 game of the 2022 season against the Bengals, the safety got hit by Tee Higgins. After suffering the blow to the chest, he stood up and collapsed just a few seconds later. His heart stopped because of the blow, a condition known as commotio cordis. The game was canceled.

Two years later, in 2024, his life has completely changed, with great memories. While presenting the 2023 Pat Tillman Award to the Bills’ training staff, who saved his life, he broke down into tears. It happened when the Chiefs TE Travis Kelce stood up to give a standing ovation. In fact, he was the first one to stand, showing his respect for the strong willpower Hamlin displayed in the ordeal. The rest of the NFL fraternity also followed suit, stood up and cheered for the Bills’ star. It was a scene worth watching.
