As the sports world held out hope for the recovery of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, a video of him talking about his teammate and friend Dane Jackson who suffered a scary neck injury earlier in the season.

Hamlin appeared on "One Bills Live" a few weeks ago and talked about Jackson’s injury. The video was shared by Bills legend Andre Reed among other NFL fans across social media.

"I can’t even describe it, but I cherish it every second that I can," Hamlin says in the clip. "Every second of every day. We just had our prayer, our DB prayer we do every Wednesday. He was next to me and I just grabbed his hand a little bit harder just because you know you never know when your last day could be that you get to experience something like this. I’m cherishing every moment that I can."

Hamlin and Jackson were teammates at Pittsburgh before both players turned pro. Jackson joined the Bills first in 2020 and Hamlin followed in 2021. Jackson suffered a neck injury in a game in September that caused him to get taken off the field in an ambulance.

DAMAR HAMLIN'S CHARITY RECEIVES MILLIONS IN DONATIONS AFTER HE COLLAPSES ON FIELD

Reed was among those who offered their condolences to Hamlin after he collapsed on the field.

"Rare but at a loss for words," Reed wrote on Instagram. "Fans banding together in solidarity for #DamarHamlin , #StephonDiggs - a real one —going to the hospital , people donating to Damar’s toy drive …. this restores my faith in humanity. LET’S we be more like this in 2023. Remember what really matters in this lifetime."

The Bills said Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. He got back up after the tackle but fell back down to the ground.

The Bills said Hamlin’s "heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment."

"He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition," the team said.

The game between the Bills and Bengals were postponed.

NFL executive Troy Vincent shot down the notion that players were given five minutes to warm up following Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s departure to the hospital after he suffered a medical emergency and collapsed on the field.

Hamlin’s incident occurred in the first quarter of the game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. After making a tackle on Tee Higgins, he got back to his feet and then collapsed to the field at Paycor Stadium.

Hamlin was down for several minutes as medical personnel attended to him. He needed CPR and an automated external defibrillator before he was put into the back of an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. As ESPN went in and out of commercial, the broadcast came back and players were seen trying to get back into game mode after witnessing the devastating scene.

It was said on the broadcast multiple times that players were given five minutes to warm up and get ready to play. NFL reporters caught the notion and Vincent, the senior vice president of football operations, dismissed the notion in a media availability early Tuesday.

DAMAR HAMLIN SUFFERED CARDIAC ARREST DURING GAME, HEARTBEAT RESTORED ON FIELD, BILLS SAY

"I’m not sure where that came from," Vincent said. "Frankly, there was no time period for the players to get warmed up. Frankly, the only thing that we asked was that [referee] Shawn [Smith] communicate with both head coaches to make sure they had the proper time inside the locker room to discuss what they felt like was best.

"So, I’m not sure where that came from. Five-minute warmup never crossed my mind, personally. And I was the one. ... that was communicating with the commissioner. We never, frankly, it never crossed our mind to talk about warming up to resume play. That’s ridiculous. That’s insensitive. And that’s not a place that we should ever be in."

The league postponed the game without any timetable for a make-up date.

The Bills said Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest after the collision with Higgins.

"He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition," the team said.
