Fans have been outspoken of their support towards Hamlin amid his recovery process. In fact, the demand for Hamlin's jersey has skyrocketed in recent days. Accordingly, Michael Rubin and the Fanatics team have decided to donate all the proceeds of Hamlin's jersey sales towards the Bills safety's Chasing M's Foundation. All in all, via the outpouring of support, the foundation has raised over $6 million overall through GoFundMe.

Thankfully, while Hamlin is still recovering from his terrifying injury in the intensive care unit, the 24-year old safety is now in better physical condition. He has only needed 50 percent oxygen from the ventilator instead of the initial 100 percent, which bodes well for his recuperation. Hopefully he continues to progress towards a full recovery without any further complications.
