Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott spoke to reporters during a press conference on Thursday following the news that Damar Hamlin is awake and communicating with doctors.
head coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen spoke for more than 30 minutes on Thursday evening about the difficult days that followed Damar Hamlin collapsing on the field during Monday night’s game and the latest update that the second-year safety has finally woken up and is communicating with doctors.
But one message that remained constant throughout the presser was the overwhelming amount of support and prayers that Hamlin and his family received. "The amount of faith, hope and love that we saw on display over the last three days has been nothing short of amazing," McDermott said after thanking all those involved.
"I’m not a big social media person, but Josh did share something with me via text that he saw today, or earlier today, and I looked at it, and it was about what maybe Damar’s mom is going to share with him when he wakes up and …," McDermott said before pausing. "It’s amazing to know the impact that this has had on so many people and for now Damar to be awake and his mom to be able to share that with him is – it’s incredible.
"That is what Damar wants, that's what his dad wants. Guys are excited to get out there," Allen said.
