Damar Hamlin Biography

NFL player, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Damar Hamlin inspires audiences with his vision for making an impact through his life and work. Hamlin has always prioritized his family and community.

During his time at the University of Pittsburgh, he was named first-team All-State and the Class AAAA Defensive Player of the Year. Hamlin plays as the starting safety for the Buffalo Bills, where he quickly became a key leader. Beyond sports, he launched the popular "Chasing M's" clothing brand while still in school. In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, he founded "The Chasing M’s Foundation," which supports toy drives, back-to-school drives, kids’ camps, and more. The foundation also hosts a charity weekend featuring a youth football camp, charity softball game, and an All-Star game.

On January 2nd, 2023, during a "Monday Night Football" game, Hamlin experienced a severe medical emergency when he collapsed on the field from cardiac arrest after completing a tackle. Prompt medical attention helped restore his heartbeat on the spot, and he was immediately taken to emergency care. While recovering, Hamlin communicated by writing on a clipboard due to his breathing tube, famously asking, “did we win?” to which his trauma surgeon responded affirmatively. He has since made a significant recovery and publicly shared his gratitude for the overwhelming support he received. His foundation's GoFundMe campaign for an annual toy drive has raised over $9M, largely supported by the NFL community.

Hamlin's remarkable recovery and community involvement have earned him several accolades, including the Variety Sports and Entertainment Social Impact Award, the 2023 Alan Page Community Award, the 2023 George Halas Award. He also presented the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPY Awards to the Bills training staff and was recognized by the city of Pittsburgh with "Damar Hamlin Day" on July 9th. Moreover, he was named a GQ Man of the Year for his inspirational comeback and philanthropy, particularly advocating for AED defibrillators accessibility and Hands-only CPR training. A gifted speaker, Hamlin emphasizes entrepreneurship, leadership, and making a lasting community impact, drawing from his personal experiences and recovery to motivate others.

  • When God Uses You as a Vessel

    When Damar Hamlin experienced a medical emergency during an NFL football game, the world was rocked. As he made a swift recovery, his first statements were gratitude – for those who had cared for him, who were praying for him, and for how the world had shown support by contributing to his organization, The Chasing M’s Foundation. Hamlin illuminates his spiritual journey and how his faith led him through this traumatic experience and enabled him to take the opportunity to refocus on those in need.

    In Damar’s words, “What happened to me on Monday Night Football, I feel, is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world. And I’m able to give it back to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most, and that’s always been my dream. That’s always been what I stood for and what I will continue to stand for.”

Chasing M’s is dedicated to supporting the aspirations of youth and community members through sports, education, and enrichment opportunities. In this profound and uplifting talk, Hamlin shares his inspiration and what calls him to be a role model in his community, and how giving back can change the world.
