"It was just telling me she's thinking of me, praying for me and things like that, telling me he's OK, all the good, positive stuff," said Higgins, who added that knowing Hamlin is improving is making him feel good inside.
Higgins, who went to Clemson, played against the Bills safety in college while Hamlin attended Pitt. The two also spent time together at Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd's annual football camp in Pittsburgh, where Boyd and Hamlin are from.
"It was hard," Higgins said about the incident. "Obviously wasn't in a place to play the rest of that game, so I'm kind of glad we didn't return to play."
