Andre Schied hasn’t rocked his jersey since retiring in 2001, but the Bills legend found an incredibly worthy reason to dust off the old linen… the Hall of Famer wanted to show love Damar Hamelin as he remains in critical condition in the hospital.
Reed, one of the greatest players in Buffalo history, changed his old Bills varsity, crossing out the number “8” on the left, leaving only the “3”… Damar’s number.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver also covered “REED”…replacing it with “HAMLIN.”
Not only has Reed tweaked his wardrobe… he also sent a heartfelt message to the young defender.

Bill’s safety Damar Hamlin suffered a critical cardiac arrest on the field
“I keep praying for you, D. What more can I say, man. The whole nation is behind you, behind your family. We know you’ve been in the dark, but now you come out of the dark. You can see the light like that, we’re so happy about that,” said the 7x Pro Bowler.
“Bill’s Nation, Bill’s Mafia, everyone across the country, we’re so excited about today’s news. We know you will pull through and keep going. We love you brother.”
Of course, the news Andre was excited about came from Damar’s doctors on Thursday morning…when they happily reported Hamlin had shown it.remarkable improvement‘ overnight, noting that he is ‘neurologically intact’ even after his heart stopped on the field.
Despite the good news, doctors warned Hamlin still has one long road to recovery.
The Bills will return to the field in western New York on Sunday … but Reed doesn’t have to rock the makeshift threads during their game. We’re told AR has a proper Hamlin #3 jersey on the way and it’s expected to arrive before the Patriots game.
