Antonio Hamilton
In August, as Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antonio Hamilton prepared for his first NFL starting role, he had a “freak accident” while cooking, leading to second-degree burns. He admits going through a “dark place” while recovering and credits his supportive wife, Christian books, and the worship song “Million Little Miracles” for lifting his spirits.
During his recovery, which is progressing quicker than expected, Hamilton has questioned God “a lot.” The athlete tells ESPN he realized: “I was supposed to be just a beacon of light just to continue to show people what it is to stand strong in your faith, no matter what the situation looked like. Because in the blink of an eye, everything could be gone like that. It’s up to you how you choose to handle it. You can choose to go in that dark hole and stay there, or you can choose to climb up out of it.”
