Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin said Saturday that the love he has received “has been overwhelming” and asked people to keep praying for him.

“When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much,” Hamlin wrote in a social media post. “I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. We brung the world back together behind this. If you know me you know this only gone make me stronger.”
