Overview

  • The tattoo covers his entire back and was revealed via an Instagram video posted by artist Ganga, who captioned it “Thanks for your trust.”
  • It features the phrase “Did we win?”, the question Hamlin asked his medical team when he regained consciousness.
  • Symbols incorporated include the Monday Night Football logo, a “Pray for Damar 3” flag, Paycor Stadium imagery and Bo Jackson’s supportive tweet.
  • Doctors believe the January 2023 cardiac arrest was caused by commotio cordis, and after rehabilitation Hamlin returned to play for the Bills in 2024.
  • He re-signed on a one-year, $2 million contract this offseason and started 14 games last season, recording 80 tackles and two interceptions.
