A lot of NFL players recognize how blessed they are to be in their position, and they want to give back.
Hamlin, of course, is near the top of that list after almost dying on the football field. He has done lots of public service since his return to the game.
This is one of those moments that lifts everyone up a little bit.
Leo gets a special scene he’ll never forget.
And the Bills get a chance to recognize the joy in the little moments of life, that even when things are hard, there are reasons to smile.
It’s cool that opportunities like these exist, and that the Bills made sure this could happen for little Leo.
