Patches with the No. 3 will be worn by the Bills, and stadiums in all sports have shown a message showing their thoughts. Each game will also have a "moment of support," encouraging fans to cheer on Hamlin and his family.

Hamlin made his first public comments Saturday in an Instagram post.
"When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much…" he said. "The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out.

When Hamlin first woke up earlier this week, he asked doctors, via writing, who won Monday's game, and he learned it had been postponed before it was later canceled. He also was able to speak with his teammates Friday and told them he loved them.
Over $8 million has been donated to his charity's toy drive that originally had a goal of $2,500.
