Fans began pushing conspiracy theories that the person at the game was a clone and not Hamlin himself.

Not trying to be “that guy”, but a lot of what I saw today doesn’t make any sense. Am I the only one? #barebonespodcast #podcast #nfl #buffalo #buffalobills #damarhamlin #fyp

Former MLB player Aubrey Huff apparently seriously believed that Hamlin might actually be dead, and the NFL is covering it up.

Isn’t it weird that @BuffaloBills Damar Hamlin was the biggest story for two weeks. Now we have media silence. Not a social media post from him, picture, or live video.

Somethings fishy. @NFL is either covering up his death, or he’s in bad shape.

On Saturday, Hamlin spoke for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest on the field and thanked fans for their support during his ordeal.

“Now that my brothers have closed out a strong, winning season, as I continue to make so much progress recovering, I think it’s finally a good time to share a few things,”

“I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time, as it was just a lot to process within my own self mentally, physically, even spiritually, it’s just been a lot to process. But I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of all the love, all the support, and everything that’s just been coming my way.

“This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world and with God’s guidance I will continue to do wonderful and great things.

‘I couldn’t do this without any of the support and the love and I can’t wait to continue to take y’all on this journey with me.’
