"I made the choice that I wanted to play, you know, it wasn't anybody else's choice but mine," Hamlin said. "So, when you see my cleats laced up and my helmet and shoulder pads on, there ain't gonna be no hesitation. It was real special, like a moment of serendipity, just like life coming full circle for me. It's just something indescribable."
