That sounded like NFL propaganda.
Iona baseball player offers advice to Damar Hamlin following similar injury
DiCarlo was in the batter's box on October 27 during practice when a 90mph pitch struck him in the chest. The outfielder suffered cardiac arrest on Iona's field in Bronxville. He suffered commotio cordis.
BRONXVILLE, New York (WABC) -- For Buffalo native and Iona University baseball player Nick DiCarlo, watching Bills player Damar Hamlin on Monday night was eerily similar to what happened to him.
"You see him stand up and collapse. I was like, that's exactly what happened to me. I was like, 'that's exactly what happened to me. I literally took a few steps and collapsed. And then you see, you hear he's getting CPR and with the AED and everything," said DiCarlo.
DiCarlo was in the batter's box on October 27 during practice when a 90mph pitch struck him in the chest. The outfielder suffered cardiac arrest on Iona's field in Bronxville. He suffered commotio cordis.
"Commotio cordis is an incredibly rare event that happens, it's also a diagnosis of exclusion in our world, which basically means we have to rule out many other more common or more deadly or more fixable type conditions before we can settle in on an ultimate diagnosis such as that. And so he has ongoing testing," said Dr. Knight, who is treating Hamlin.
DiCarlo says from what he was told he took two steps and collapsed.
But I don't remember any of this. I don't remember waking up to go to practice that day. My earliest memory is from the night before going to class," he said.
DiCarlo was in a coma for several days. His coach and team visited him when he came out of it and he talked to them, but doesn't remember any of it. He remembers the following day he was watching the Buffalo Bills game with his dad on Sunday night.
He was discharged after five days and is now fully recovered after a month of rehab. He is back at school and has rejoined the team.
"Our coach at Iona got everyone on the team chest protectors that have a pad over your heart area so we're gonna be wearing - I'm gonna be wearing that," DiCarlo says.
As for any advice he has for Hamlin - have patience.
Just taking it day by day and not trying to get all better in one week. Instead of looking all forward, just taking it day by day," he says.

This should be a wake up call to alot of companies thinking a youngling will outperform an OG like me:
Youngling
1. + Age
2. - Sedentary lifestyle much earlier in life, affecting heart development
OG
1. - Age
2. + Rigorous activity much earlier in life, no internet, lack of immersive games, hundreds of TV channels.
We were given a destination somewhere that was 10 miles away. I was like lets get walking. They busted out their e-bikes and lithium ion scooters. They told me 10 miles is too far to walk when it was a short distance for me. Look at President Biden riding a regular bike, they would use an e bike with pedal assist or completely electric mode.
This company I was working at was thinking about going young, I told them it would take a massive investment in equipment. They can't be walking 10 miles a day. You will need electric scooters for them to travel everywhere, otherwise it would tax the body and turnover rate will be sky high.
Smoking was prevalent during my time, which gave us a bad perception. Once you take that away we are almost equal with younger workers.

Rex Ryan breaks down on ESPN while discussing Damar Hamlin
ESPN NFL analyst Rex Ryan broke down in tears Saturday during a live broadcast talking about Bills safety Damar Hamlin's amazing recovery.

Sources: Bengals livid coin might pick playoff site
Many in Bengals organization remain livid at NFL's decision that could let a coin flip take home-field advantage from Cincinnati, sources told ESPN.
Sources: Bengals livid coin might take away home-field edge
Bengals coach Zac Taylor already has voiced his opposition to the NFL's new playoff scenarios, but many in the Cincinnati organization are livid about a decision they feel penalizes the Bengals and rewards the Ravens, per sources.
The league told Cincinnati it should be happy it has been declared the AFC North winner, but the Bengals were furious the rules were changed on the fly and their playoff path intentionally altered.
If the Bengals had beaten the Bills on Monday night in a game that was ultimately canceled after the cardiac arrest of Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin, Cincinnati might not have had anything to play for Sunday and could have opted to rest some players. Now the Bengals have to win Sunday to avoid a potential coin flip that would determine the site of next weekend's possible wild-card game against Baltimore, and they will have to play players who otherwise might not have been out there.
The Bengals could become the first NFL team to win its division yet open the wild-card round on the road.
As a result, the Cincinnati organization feels as if the Ravens have been given enhanced opportunities that the Bengals were not and believes it has been treated unfairly by the league. Cincinnati voted against the new playoff scenario that other NFL owners approved on a Zoom call Friday. The Bengals not only voted no but also voiced their intense opposition to the league -- to no avail.
Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn is on the competition committee, which approved the scenarios Thursday. In a memo obtained by ESPN's Seth Wickersham, Blackburn urged teams to vote against the scenarios. Her reasoning stemmed from the timing of a rule change in this scenario away from the standard of winning percentages.
"The proper process for making rule change is in the off-season," Blackburn wrote. "It is not appropriate to put teams in a position to vote for something that may introduce bias, favor one team over another or impact their own situation when the vote takes place immediately before the playoffs."
There are also multiple scenarios in which the AFC Championship Game could be played on a neutral site. All three possibilities include the Chiefs and Bills, but the Bengals could factor into the equation if Kansas City and Buffalo both lose Sunday and Cincinnati wins. If Week 18's games shake out like that, a Bills or Bengals vs. Chiefs championship game would be at a neutral site.
The Chiefs close out the regular season at Las Vegas on Saturday. The Bills make an emotional return home to host the New England Patriots on Sunday, with commissioner Roger Goodell expected to be in attendance, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini.
Look,Foxworth is my guy but him of all people should know that the NFLPA aint gonna do nothing about players safety.
They claim they hate the new 17 game schedule and expansion of the playoffs but agree to it anyways.
Cared more about changing the weed policy than trying to get benefits...
All,the players care about us the money,which is their right but don't get upset when Goodell suspends you or the owners does something you don't like.
Football is the #1 sport in America but has the weakest union.
I guess everything has to be tweeted.
How about private recovery?
How about private recovery?
What's wrong with that?
He's a famous person that people wanted to see him after that hit and it's not like they showed him when he passed out.
So, him being seen by everyone is cool. Imo
There’s been a public outpouring of support and the public wants to know how he’s doing and is hoping for a full recovery.
He’s paying the public back in part by showing them how he’s doing.
Exercise some self control yourself and don't look
That's dope. I spent longer in the hospital and my heart didn't stop lol.
Glad dude is recovering.
Fuck skip bayless
Fuck skip bayless
He should’ve taken the vaccine and probably wouldn’t have passed out in the first place.
