Bills players didn’t know ahead of time that Damar Hamlin would join a team meeting via Zoom on Friday.
But when head coach Sean McDermott told the team that he had a “treat in store,” he could see the look on their faces in “anticipation of what was probably coming.”
When Hamlin appeared on the screen, players stood up and started clapping. They yelled, too. Hamlin made hand signals and gestures — like a heart symbol — and flexed both biceps for his teammates. And somewhere in the middle of that, McDermott said during a press conference Friday, Hamlin told his teammates, “I love you boys.”
“Probably won’t be able to do it justice, honestly, with the words,” McDermott said when asked about hearing Hamlin’s voice after the 24-year-old safety suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field during Monday’s game.
