A native of Pittsburgh, Hamlin played college football at the University of Pittsburgh before being signed by the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2020.
Since joining the team, Hamlin has proven to be a valuable member of the defense, using his speed and instincts to make key plays for the team. In his rookie season, he played in all 16 games and recorded 44 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble.
