BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin paid tribute to the men and women who helped to save his life during a dinner Saturday night in Cincinnati. He also had a surprise for them.

Hamlin invited 10 of the University of Cincinnati medical staff out for a bite to eat, but he also had a surprise for them.

Hamlin has set up a scholarship fund named after each of them that will help young people in Bengals country realize their dreams.

The Bills safety suffered a cardiac arrest on the field at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati during a Monday Night Football game last season.

Hamlin is with the team for Sunday Night Football, but he is not expected to play.
