Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is receiving care in Cincinnati after he suffered cardiac arrest during Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Since then, the 24-year-old has had the “top selling jersey across all sports,” a Fanatics spokesperson confirmed to Yahoo Sports.

Before he was drafted in 2021, Hamlin expressed a commitment to care for his community by giving back to his hometown of his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

In the same spirit, over 220,000 people have donated to the cause as well. As of Tuesday, the GoFundMe amassed $7 million.

The community toy drive fundraiser was initially established in 2020, but Hamlin’s representatives updated the page Wednesday, saying they were “awestruck” at the “support and generosity” shown during the difficult time.
