The National Football League was rocked to its core earlier this week when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a very scary looking injury during Monday Night Football.

Hamlin not only lost consciousness on the field but many feared for the long term well being, and even the life, of the young NFL player following what otherwise looked like a routine tackle.

Thankfully, after a long battle in the hospital, it sounds like Hamlin is well on his way to making a recovery and on Saturday he demonstrated that when, for the first time since his injury, the 24 year old spoke publicly.

Hamlin, through a number of his social media platforms, took the time to thank everyone that has been keeping him in their prayers but also vowed to come back even stronger after his ordeal.

From Hamlin:

When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much.. The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. We brung the world back together behind this. If you know me you know this only gone make me stronger. On a long road keep praying for me! #3strong

Hamlin's recovery has already been incredible and I have no doubt that he intends to keep his promise and return stronger than ever.
