Buffalo Bills Get '3' Pendants For Damar Hamlin Ahead Of Playoff Game
The Buffalo Bills were surprised with special gifts in honor of Damar Hamlin ahead of their playoff game against the Bengals … receiving “3” pendants for the entire team.
Von Miller — whose season ended prematurely after he tore his ACL on Thanksgiving Day — showed off the new jewelry on social media … and the team is clearly pumped about the gesture.
NYC-based jeweler Gabriel Jacobs of Rafaello and Co. gifted 80 pendants to the team and Damar’s family … which feature a 2.5-inch, 14k gold #3 and a heart.
We’re told Damar will be getting his very own customized pendant … which will also feature diamonds.
The backs of each pendant feature one of Hamlin’s viral quotes — “If you get a chance to show some love today do it! It won’t cost you nothing.”
Jacobs explained his decision to gift the pendants … saying, “Like many others, when I saw what happened to Damar Hamlin, I couldn’t help but feel connected thinking that this could happen to a family member of mine.”
“I was extremely moved by all the outpouring of love and donations that came from all across the world. Being a jeweler, I wanted to give back in my own way by gifting these pendants as a way for the Buffalo Bills team to continue to honor Hamlin.”
24-year-old Hamlin went into cardiac arrest after tackling Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins on Monday Night Football … a moment that shook the sports world.
Hamlin was since released from the hospital after spending time in the ICU … and head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday the Bills safety has been at the practice facility “almost daily.”
McDermott said Hamlin is still taking things day by day … and is trying to get back into a routine suitable for his current stage in recovery.
It’s unclear if Hamlin will be at Highmark Stadium for the team’s Divisional Round game against the Bengals … but one thing’s for sure — he’ll be on Bills Mafia’s mind.
