Damar Hamlin is a safety for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL) . He played college football at the University of Pittsburgh and was selected by the Bills in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Hamlin spent most of his rookie season as a backup before becoming a starter in 2022 following a season-ending injury to Micah Hyde. He was a healthy scratch for the Bills season opener in 2023. However, he has since returned to the field and played in the preseason games.
