Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin made national headlines when he collapsed on the field during a game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
According to the Buffalo Bills organization, Hamlin made a complete recovery but not everybody is believing Hamlin made a complete recovery.
Some users on the internet believe Hamlin is dead.
The rumors Hamlin is dead surfaced after video footage of Hamlin at the Bills playoff game didn’t show his face.
Take a look:
CPR – broken ribs. How is he waving his arms around like that?
This man looked ready to PLAY in that game on Sunday.
Never took hood down, shades off or lowered mask.
Why didn’t the @NFL give a stage to Damar Hamlin for his miraculous “return” to the stadium?

Most of Hamlin’s face was covered in the videos from the game, with the broadcast never getting a clear shot of Hamlin, leading some to speculate that it was not really him.
The second-year safety had some fun with the rumors on Monday.
