The world nearly froze after watching Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin suffer an injury while doing what he loves. Nebraska’s Brady Beran says he can relate to what Hamlin is going through.
On September 24, 2004, Beran’s life changed forever while playing football for his high school, when he was hit like never before.
“It was a close game but then in the third quarter, I had a helmet-to-helmet collision with an opposing player. When that happened, I was slow to get up and walk to the sidelines,” said Beran.
The game stopped and Beran needed help to get off the field. Coaches and players quickly realized he needed immediate medical attention.
“When I got to the sidelines, I collapsed. I was unconscious and unresponsive, so they stopped the game, the trainer called an ambulance, and the ambulance came and took me to the trauma center,” said Beran.
