Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has decided to put up his and Tom Brady's jerseys for auction. All the money will go into Damar Hamlin's charity, and it is expected to fetch a good amount as well.

Fournette wrote this in a tweet:

"Today we are auctioning off our jersey all proceeds will be going to Damar fundraiser #3."

When Hamlin opened his eyes, his neurological status remained normal. This is fantastic news as he is on the right track to recovery. The specialists did an excellent job of preserving Hamlin's life.

People on social media praised the Buffalo Bills' medical personnel for reacting quickly on the field and performing CPR. Hopefully, the second-year athlete will be able to make a full recovery.
