Damar Hamlin wiped tears from his eyes at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night as he got a standing ovation and presented an award to the first responders who saved his life when he went into cardiac arrest during a game in January. “What I’ve taken away from what happened to me six and a half months ago, is that any of us at any given time are capable of doing something that’s incredible, in saving a life and living a life in service to others,” he said in a video before he handed over the award to the Buffalo Bills training staff. “It’s a blessing. It’s a responsibility. And it’s the very reason why you’re hearing my voice right now. Anyone could be a hero. These are mine.”
