As some of you already know, Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills drew national attention when he collapsed suddenly and received CPR during a game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Following the incident the Bills organization would later report that Hamlin had recovered fully; however, many people on the internet remain unconvinced and speculated Hamlin was dead.
We already reported about the rumors here:
Now the rumors have sparked back up after Bills quarterback Josh Allen talked about Damar Hamlin on Kyle Brandt's Basement talk show.
When Allen was asked if he was "duped" by a fake Damar Hamlin in the locker room the star quarterback replied "I don't think so but if it is who knows".
Watch here:
I don’t know if Damar Hamlin is dead or still recovering in the hospital… but it definitely seems it wasn’t him at that game. Josh Allen couldn’t even confirm 100% it was Damar in the locker room.pic.twitter.com/8TOBseaBT9 https://t.co/ZHpPe5zLtb

Fox News added these details:
It's the biggest conspiracy theory in sports right now: Was Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin actually present at Highmark Stadium on Sunday for the AFC divisional round matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals?
Hamlin was seen going up to his suite at the stadium and the CBS broadcast even showed him there, though the snowy conditions made it hard to get a clear view of him. Only his hands in a heart shape were seen as the crowd cheered for him after seeing the shot on the Jumbotron.
But, because he was layered up to the point where only his eyes would’ve been seen if he didn’t have sunglasses on, people believe that it wasn’t actually Hamlin at the stadium. It was someone else playing his part.
Quarterback Josh Allen wants to put an end to all that.
"Yeah, that’s stupid," he said on "Kyle Brandt’s Basement."
"One, that’s Damar’s swag. He likes wearing that. Two, he was in the locker room with us pre-game, so yes that was damar. That’s absolutely zero chance. He’s Damar Hamlin, that’s our guy, that’s our brother. He was with us pre-game, post-game. He was up in the suite with his family, his little brother. 100 percent so people need to stop that s---."
Hamlin also played on the conspiracy, posting a picture to Twitter with the caption "Clone" while wearing the same outfit he did to Highmark Stadium next to a mural of him in Buffalo.
Hamlin also said that everyone will hear from him soon.
