What happened to Damar Hamlin tonight?
1) Introduction
Tonight, I had the pleasure of attending a concert by the band Damar Hamlin. I have been a fan of their music for many years, and it was great to finally see them live.
The concert was amazing, and the band sounded great. However, something happened during the show that left me feeling a little uneasy.
At one point during the performance, the lead singer stopped singing and started talking to the crowd. He began to tell us a story about how he had been struggling with addiction and depression for many years.
He then went on to say that he had recently attempted to take his own life.
I was shocked and saddened by this revelation. It was clear that the singer was in a very dark place, and I couldn’t help but worry for his safety.
As the concert came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel a little shaken by what I had heard. It’s heartbreaking to think that someone who brings so much joy to others could be struggling so much internally.
I hope that the singer is able to get the help he needs and that he can continue to make great music for many years to come.

4) Damar Hamlin’s Reaction
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected cornerback Damar Hamlin in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Hamlin was a four-year starter at the University of Pittsburgh, where he racked up 191 tackles, seven interceptions and 26 passes defensed.
The Steelers are hoping that he can be a key contributor on special teams as a rookie and develop into a starting cornerback down the road.
Hamlin had a strong showing in his first NFL preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
He recorded two tackles and one pass defensed.
However, he suffered a knee injury in the game and was carted off the field.
The severity of Hamlin’s knee injury is not yet known.
However, it is certainly a disappointing development for the young cornerback.

5) Conclusion
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released safety Damar Hamlin, according to his agent.
Hamlin, 23, was a seventh-round pick out of Pittsburgh in 2019. He played in 13 games as a rookie, mostly on special teams, and had one interception.
The Steelers had been high on Hamlin and were expected to give him a chance to compete for a starting job this season. But with the team signing free agent safety Mike Mitchell and drafting safety Terrell Edmunds in the first round, Hamlin became expendable.
Hamlin is the second safety to be released by the Steelers this offseason, as they also let go of J.J. Wilcox earlier in the offseason.
