Damar Hamlin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Damar Hamlin has been all over the headlines and social feeds lately, blending his continued football comeback with an expanding influence off the field. As of mid-September 2025, Hamlin is in year five with the Buffalo Bills and playing backup free safety behind Cole Bishop. He’s seen most of his early season action on special teams, logging 38 percent of those snaps in the first couple weeks according to Pro Football Network. After the harrowing cardiac arrest he survived in January 2023 on national TV, Hamlin’s return to the NFL is a comeback tale that keeps inspiring, and remains one of the most courageous sports stories of this era. His 2024-25 campaign was his best yet with 14 starts, 89 tackles, and two interceptions, finishing fourth in the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year voting.
His Buffalo Bills are undefeated after two games this season, and the buzz extends far beyond football. Entertainment Now reports Hamlin is jumping into acting with not just one, but two Hallmark Christmas movies airing later this year. The first, Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, debuts November 22 and puts the spotlight on Buffalo’s wild fanbase. The second, titled The More the Merrier, features Hamlin in a role deeply personal to him: he’ll share the screen with real-life young cardiac patients, kids he’s mentored through Abbott’s HeartMates program.
His heart health advocacy is at the core of his public life. Since 2023, Hamlin’s on-field collapse has fueled the Buffalo Bills’ HeartBEAT initiative with the American Heart Association, aimed at making CPR and AED training accessible throughout Western New York. September kicked off the program’s third year, and Hamlin’s active involvement includes youth outreach, public CPR demonstrations, and championing legislative change, all with a mission of doubling out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates. The NFL’s main Twitter account gave Hamlin a shout-out on September 17 for his HeartBEAT efforts.
Meanwhile, Hamlin’s profile in the community continues to grow. WHEC Rochester confirms he’ll be front and center September 30 as emcee at the Red Wings Home Run Derby, where he’ll hand out giveaways, host a meet-and-greet, and keep his bond strong with upstate New York fans. Off the field, Hamlin’s charity, the Chasing M’s Foundation, just wrapped its third annual back-to-school event in Buffalo, supplying children and families with essentials to start the year.
Social media, as always, is ablaze with Hamlin moments—fans reposting his Hallmark announcement, HeartBEAT highlights, and shout-outs from fellow athletes. There’s no significant controversy or speculation about his health, contract, or future; news is all positive and verified. As autumn kicks off, Damar Hamlin is thriving, and his journey is setting new standards for what it looks like to turn adversity into a platform for real change and visible inspiration.
