President Biden met with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin and said his recovery from a tragic injury last season «inspired the American people.»

Hamlin’s story has captivated more than just football fans after he went into cardiac arrest during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. If it weren’t for the quick response from medical personnel in the field and at the University of Cincinnati Trauma Center, Hamlin may not be with us today.

He has since bounced back and turned his moment of fear into one of hope, which Biden noted on Twitter after his visit.

«Sudden cardiac arrest is something I would never have chosen to be a part of my story, but that’s because our own visions are too small, even when we think we see the whole picture,» Hamlin said via NFL.com. «My vision was about playing in the NFL and being the best player I could be, but God’s plan was to have a purpose bigger than any game in this world.»
