Buffalo Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington saved Damar Hamlin’s life with quick, effective treatment on the field at Paycor Stadium in January after Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest.
The actions of Kellington and the Bills’ athletic training staff, and the medical staff at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, helped Hamlin recover from a horrific event that occurred during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals last season. And at the 2023 ESPY Awards Ceremony, Hamlin himself was able to give thanks.
