Retired Super Bowl champion Benjamin Watson said the on-field collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during a recent “Monday Night Football” should serve as a reminder that life is precious and can change in an instant.
Hamlin stunned fans when he suddenly collapsed and went into cardiac arrest during a game against Cincinnati on Jan. 2.
The 24-year-old was hospitalized in critical condition, but was transferred to a New York hospital this week and was released to go home Jan. 11, according to news reports.
During a CNN interview Jan. 4, Watson said the fact that a world-class athlete in the prime of his life abruptly suffered heart failure is a sobering reminder of how fleeting life is.
“These times bring us face-to-face with our own mortality,” he told host Anderson Cooper. “We all have a day to be born, and we all have a day to die.”
