Damar Hamlin Returns to Cincinnati For Charitable Event: 'My Third Home'

Hamlin nearly lost his life last NFL season.

CINCINNATI — Damar Hamlin returned to Cincinnati for a program with the American Heart Association this weekend and spoke at the University of Cincinnati.

The Bills safety died and came back to life on the field at Paycor Stadium during the 2022 season, and now considers Cincinnati one of his other homes when he thinks about the entire experience since then.

Both the Bills and Bengals medical teams plus the cardiology team at UC Medical Center helped Hamlin get back to normal after suffering commotio cordis on the field.

"When we started this CPR tour we had three cities in mind," Hamlin said. "Pittsburgh, my hometown, Buffalo, my second home and Cincinnati, my third home. Today we have members of the (UC) trauma team. They treated me with a care that was unmatched. I told them they treated me like family. I didn't feel like a patient that was going through a life-or-death situation. I felt like a family member. It was all genuine love, genuine care."

Check out Hamlin speaking at the event and more from the gathering.

Back in Cincinnati for the first time since the Monday Night Football game in January, Damar Hamlin called Cincinnati his "third home".
