Hamlin, the host of the event, is a reserve safety for the Bills. He was active for five regular season games last season, recording two tackles (all solo) and played in both of the Bills’ playoff games — recording two tackles against the Kansas City Chiefs. He finished second, receiving more first-place votes than the eventual winner Joe Flacco, in the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award.

NFL player Brandon Marshall was playing in the game.

Former NFL defensive lineman Aaron Donald played in the basketball game.

Hamlin competed in the game.

A local product, Hamlin originally committed to Pitt as a four-star recruit out of Pittsburgh Central Catholic, choosing Pitt over an offer from just about every major college in the country, and he would grow into one of the top safeties in college football during his time in Pittsburgh.
