The Buffalo Bills selected Hamlin in the sixth round, with the 212th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.[13] He signed his four-year rookie contract with Buffalo on May 21, 2021.[14] After playing a reserve role his rookie season, Hamlin became one of the Bills' starting safeties in 2022 after Micah Hyde suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 2.[15]
In-game collapse
On January 2, 2023, during a Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, Hamlin made a "jarring"[16][17] tackle on wide receiver Tee Higgins. After the collision, Hamlin momentarily got to his feet before collapsing backward to the ground.
