Damar Hamlin, Pitt, 6’ 1”, 194 lbs. - Reese's Senior Bowl

By: Tanner Elliott

Hamlin was a tackling machine at the safety position during his time at Pitt. During his game against Virginia Tech, he made back-to-back stops at the one-yard line to stop VT from scoring a touchdown. Seen as more of a run stopping player compared to a coverage guy, his physicality plays in his favor. In the NFL he could be used to slow down the more athletic tight ends.

Pittsburgh DB Damar Hamlin is a name to remember, #Chargers fans.

Hamlin is an instinctual player who covers a lot of ground and has great ball awareness.

There's some familiarity, as new defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill served as his defensive backs coach for two seasons. pic.twitter.com/RLA6z73LUx

#Pitt S Damar Hamlin has looked terrific his 1-on-1 reps, and i’m not sure why he’s not getting more buzz.

-Athleticism to play with WR/RB/TE
-Smooth mover in space
-Experience being the leader of a defense.@HamlinIsland is legit?#NFLDraft #H2P pic.twitter.com/YjZD4pMNXj
