NFL Veteran Puts Faith Into Lewis Hamilton’s Abilities Despite Winless Season: “Most Clutch Player in Sports”

Lewis Hamilton is as famous as they come. The Brit has been on top of his game and the world since 2007. This is exactly why not just people associated with Formula 1 appreciate the seven-time world champion. Everyone, across the globe and in various sports, appreciates the incredible ability the Mercedes man has behind a single-seater. In the most unexpected way, former NFL player and Super Bowl champion Will Blackmon proved that.

The Mercedes man, largely because of the poor state of the W13 and the consistent changes, suffered through the most difficult season of his career. The Brit, finished the season winless, a first for him in his entire 16-year-long career. However, there are some who still believe in him and the former NFL player is one of them.

Blackmon proved his trust in Hamilton via a random Twitter post. Best-selling author and ESPN commentator Paul Finebaum asked a poll-esque question via his official Twitter account. The simple question was, “Who’s the most clutch player in sports right now?”

The American commentator captured a large audience via his poll with 510.1K views and thousands of replies. Blackmon was among those who replied to Finebaum’s tweet. Blackmon simply tagged Lewis Hamilton in his reply to answer the poll.
