Damar Hamlin received a tattoo of his heart hand gesture on his neck, commemorating the first anniversary of suffering cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game. The tattoo was done by Alexander Brenes, who captured the moment for Instagram.

Damar Hamlin made his return to the football field last year (Aug. 12) in a preseason matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. During his return, Hamlin registered three tackles in the 23-19 win. In the regular season, Hamlin has registered two tackles.

“It was super fun,” Hamlin said. “It was a great experience. Just another milestone and a step up just getting back to myself as far as in the football space and in the NFL.

“Just my first few plays in being pressures, and there’s my number being called. So, all of the jitters, all the nerves, that was like out the window right there, like right then and there. But it was good for me. It was able to get me going.”

“How many people can say that they really get to overcome something of a hurdle this big in their life and still be here to tell the story of it?”
