Recent comments from Damar Hamlin have gone viral, and the Buffalo Bills safety took to social media to clear things up. 

Speaking with reporters on Saturday, he said that it would be a "dream" to end his NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers

And many people thought this was a dig at the Bills, but that wasn't the case at all. Hamlin has a lot of personal ties to Pittsburgh, having grown up there and gone to college at Pitt. So it makes sense why he'd want to go back. 

“Because I played at Pitt, you know, I was in the stadium,” Hamlin said (via Steel City Collectibles’ Bill Leino).  “I played at Heinz Field for probably like eight years straight with WPIAL championships and Pitt.

“A dream come true would be finishing my career as a Steeler.”

During the week, the focus was on that single comment, not focusing on his past in Pittsburgh. So Hamlin took to X, formerlly known as Twitter, to address it all. 

"I answered this from a childhood perspective & this is not my full response to the question! 

You think a Pittsburgh kid won't grow up dreaming of playing for the hometown team? No harm or foul in that. 

#BillsMafia forever tho! 
Gave the kid a chance," Hamlin wrote. 

Hamlin loves the Bills, having received so much support from the team and the fanbase over the past few years. So this would never be a dig at his current team. 

Instead its just him showing some love for his hometown.
