Damar Hamlin genuinely is what people are saying of him. A good person, a role model to the community and someone who always understood the significance of his stature. Local kids looked up to him when he was at Pitt, and he embraced that.

The problem is, every time that fake slide gets brought up, it feels like that's the reason Kenny Pickett is in NYC tonight. And that's not the case: he was legitimately one of the best players in the game this season and the reason Pitt won the ACC this year.
