“He was beyond thrilled and feels very supported by the outpouring of love from across the league.
‘We learned this week that the Bills Mafia is a very real thing and we are all feeling the love from you in Western New York.

“When I said we had a ‘gift’ in store, you could see the look in his eyes anticipating what was probably coming,” McDermott told reporters last week. “And then to get the Zoom and when he came up on the screen…to see the player’s reaction, they immediately stood up and clapped for him and yelled some things at him and it was a really cool exchange for a few seconds.”
Other signs thanked Denny Kellington, the man who gave Hamlin the CPR he needed to stay alive.
Hamlin, who appeared on ‘the big screen’, made a ‘heart’ symbol with his hands, gave a ‘thumbs up’ sign and even bowed to his teammates, McDermott said: ‘It makes me laugh. He leaned over them.’
