SOURCE: AP โ€” Damar Hamlin has made it to the Super Bowl.

The Buffalo Bills safety made his third appearance in Phoenix during Super Bowl week, this time on the field at State Farm Stadium prior to Sundayโ€™s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and
Philadelphia Eagles.

Itโ€™s been a little more than a month since Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and needed to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati. Sundayโ€™s appearance was another milestone in his remarkable recovery.

โ€œIโ€™m allowing that to be in Godโ€™s hands,โ€ Hamlin said in an interview with Foxโ€™s Michael Strahan. โ€œIโ€™m just thankful he gave me a second chance.โ€

During the pregame pageantry, the NFL honored the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals training and medical staffs, along with the staff at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. A minute later, Hamlin joined them, putting his hands together to form a heart. He also received hugs from several of the first responders.

He also appeared on stage at โ€œNFL Honorsโ€ on Thursday night.

โ€œMy entire life, I felt like God was using me to give others hope and now with a new set of circumstances, I can say heโ€™s doing what heโ€™s always done,โ€ Hamlin said Thursday. โ€œI have a long journey ahead, a journey full of unknowns and a journey full of milestones, but itโ€™s a lot easier to face your fears when you know your purpose.โ€

Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins on Jan. 2. The sight of an elite-level athlete nearly dying on the field sent a shock across the NFL and the world.
