Following the shock of Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest, his jersey has become a bestseller on the “Fanatics” website within the last few hours. All proceeds are to go towards his fundraising goal.
The NFL world is in shock. Safety Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills suffered a cardiac arrest during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Since then, teams, players and fans around the NFL have rallied together and done various things to support him. While some donated to Hamlin’s “GoFundMe” account, others bought his jersey.
