Damar Hamlin is still going long and strong.
Hamlin has been one of the best stories over the last two years, returning to the field after suffering cardiac arrest against the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2022 season.
Hamlin, who is 27, is one of the stars of the “Hard Knocks” series in 2025.
He proudly discussed his faith and said that he’s writing a book on the experience.
“First thing I do when I wake up,” Hamlin said, “is I just send up a quick prayer, and I get into my devotionals. Then I just take a few minutes to take a couple deep breaths because I just remember being in the hospital, and I remember being able to not take a deep breath.”
That isn’t all he has been up to.
Damar Hamlin has been busy this offseason. He recently got his entire back covered with a tattoo that will forever remind him of the tremendous adversity he overcame nearly three years ago.
Famed tattoo artist Ganga posted a video on his Instagram page this week that shows the Buffalo Bills safety recently got several homages to the in-game cardiac arrest he suffered against Cincinnati in January 2023.
Bills safety Damar Hamlin is set to be back on the field with Buffalo in 2025.
In March, the Buffalo Bills and Hamlin agreed to terms on a one-year, $2 million deal in free agency.
Hamlin was one of Buffalo’s full-time starters at safety, starting 14 games in 2024.
Hamlin earned a starting role on Buffalo’s defense and proved to be an impact player. He finished third on the team in total tackles (89) and tied for the team lead in interceptions (2).
The defender was a sixth-round pick of the Bills in 2021.
