Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday reacted to Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin, who&#8217;s from Pittsburgh, going into cardiac arrest during a Monday night NFL game.
Hamlin, 24, <a href="https://twitter.com/BuffaloBills/status/1610166228559052801" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> suffered cardiac arrest following a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals during the first quarter. The game was suspended and then ultimately postponed. Medical professionals administered CPR on the field, and Hamlin was whisked off in an ambulance some 16 minutes after the collapse. He is currently at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he&#8217;s been sedated and is in critical condition.

&#8220;I&#8217;ll say this about Damar Hamlin,&#8221; Tomlin told reporters Tuesday. &#8220;Man, it’s a really personal thing for me, being a Pittsburgher, and that young man being a Pittsburgher. I’ve known that guy probably since he was about 12.&#8221;
&#8220;Just got a lot of respect and love for him as a human being, his commitment to the pursuit of his goals and dreams of doing what it is he&#8217;s doing right now, which is playing in the NFL &#8230; to make that a realization,&#8221; the coach continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s just an honor to get to know young people like that, I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to express that to him whenever I see him.&#8221;
Tomlin expressed gratitude to see the maturation of players like Hamlin, who realized his dream. &#8220;I&#8217;ve got a lot of love for that young man, we&#8217;ve lifted him and that organization (the Buffalo Bills) up in prayer,&#8221; he said, adding that he respected the media&#8217;s understanding of how &#8220;personal&#8221; this matter is to him and others.
