Damar Hamlin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Damar Hamlin is the name on every sports and philanthropy insider’s lips this week, as the Buffalo Bills safety keeps making waves on and off the field. With the 2025 NFL season underway, Hamlin continues his role as backup free safety, shadowing new starter Cole Bishop, but football insiders noticed his shift toward a dominant special teams presence—38 percent of those snaps are his. While he logged just 12 defensive snaps in the opening two weeks, it is his impact beyond the stat sheet that cements his comeback narrative, one that began with the infamous January 2023 cardiac arrest on Monday Night Football. His dedication and grit haven’t gone unnoticed—having earned a one-year contract extension in March, Hamlin remains an anchor in Buffalo's roster and a living embodiment of the league’s best comeback stories, though he narrowly missed the Comeback Player of the Year award last season, finishing fourth according to Pro Football Network.
Off the field, Hamlin’s influence is rapidly expanding. The big news this week: the NFL renewed the high-profile partnership with the American Heart Association, amplifying CPR education nationwide. Damar is the frontman of this initiative, starring in an introduction video that appears before the Kids Heart Challenge Hands-Only CPR module. In the video, Hamlin reveals how CPR saved his life, urging kids to learn this critical skill. Five lucky students, chosen through the program, are headed to Super Bowl LX in February 2026. According to an American Heart Association release dated September 22, the partnership will fund thousands in school fitness equipment and spark a new generation of lifesavers in classrooms across the country.
Adding to his advocacy, Hamlin is a force in the Buffalo Bills’ HeartBEAT Initiative—a five-year, one-million-dollar project to flood Western New York with CPR and AED training. This season marks year three, with free hands-on events spanning public schools, Bills camp, and community gatherings. Hamlin isn’t just lending his name either; his Chasing M’s Foundation’s back-to-school bash in Buffalo drew hundreds in August, including families and local leaders, all joining the chorus for better heart health and emergency preparedness.
Social media has exploded as well, with viral highlights of Hamlin’s career milestones—like his first NFL interception replayed by Bleacher Report—and new fans inspired by his mentorship of Angel City FC’s Savy King, herself a cardiac arrest survivor. If you scroll TikTok or X, you’ll spot #DamarHamlin trending alongside heartfelt tributes and clips of his CPR training message.
No major controversies or negative stories have surfaced in national news or verified sports coverage over the past few days. Instead, Hamlin’s narrative is one of ongoing resilience, commitment to community health, and the steady evolution of his on-field and off-field impact—a rare feat for any NFL player and a headline story to watch this season.
