Stefon Diggs Ubered To Hospital To Check On Damar Hamlin, Was Stopped By Cops Who Didn't Know Who He Was
As the entire football world anxiously awaited an update on Bills Safety Damar Hamlin's status, wide receiver Stefon Diggs took the extra step to be close to his teammate.
According to ESPN's Coley Harvey, Hamlin's teammate Stefon Diggs arrived at the hospital after the game had been postponed.
"He essentially expressed how much he needed to be here," Harvey said of Diggs. "You just heard from Adam Schefter saying that so many people around the NFL, around this team, are desperate to know anything about Damar Hamlin's status, and that's exactly what I got from Stefon Diggs."
Harvey added that as Diggs made his way into the building, he had to explain to a cop that he was Hamlin's teammate.
"I actually walked with him towards the medical center. I could only go so far. He got to a cop, and the cop initially wasn't going to let him in, and he said 'This is my teammate. I have to be here for my teammate. This is so frustrating right now. We just want to know what the news is on our guy.' The cop basically just let him go at that point, I actually had to vouch for him and explain exactly who he was."
Hamlin was in critical condition after being injured in the first quarter of the Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. He was given CPR and oxygen before being taken to the trauma center in an ambulance.
