Hamlin is a second-year player who came to the Bills as a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft out of Pittsburgh.
This season, he became the starter at free safety after Micah Hyde suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 2. Hamlin has been learning on the job, but was playing well given the difficult circumstances.Bills rookie Damar Hamlin stared down childhood adversity and now has a shot in the NFL
He was arrested, found guilty and spent 3 ½ of Damar’s formative years in prison, leaving his wife and son to fend for themselves. "I would just really give all that credit to my parents, that’s really like the biggest difference that I’ve seen in everyone’s lives that was around me growing up," Hamlin said during an interview last year."Just that fact of having two parents in my life that were dedicated to me and all into me, every move from being little to growing up.
Hamlin rose above it all in high school, enjoyed a tremendous football career and earned a scholarship to Pitt, his hometown team."Some of the stories you hear from these guys, you’re like, ‘Man, that’s tough; what a tough hand this player, this person has been dealt,’" Bills general manager Brandon Beane said last year."But what an accomplishment for Damar to avoid things.
