This is Buffalo #Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington. He is the reason #DamarHamlin is still alive.
He performed #CPR on Hamlin on the field Monday night, and doctors today said his speed and skill were "absolutely vital."
You never know when you will find yourself in a situation where you have the ability to save someone’s life.

@DevinPike
It appears this was caused because he was hit in just the right place, which in turn suggests that maybe we need a redesign on those pads players wear.
@tofugolem @DevinPike it is likely less of a padding issue and more a timing issue. Commotio cordis is a known consequence of precisely timed impact. Uncommon when seen in the context of the number of impacts across sports due to timing precision needed.
