‘Hamdan was recently released by the Buffalo Bills after being their third-stringer last season but that scrap of data hardly speaks to those qualities that continue to open doors for him as an athlete. Hamdan hails from a unique background. His father, Latif, is Palestinian; his mother Laila is Pakistani. The dad is a nuclear engineer with a PhD who now works for the U.S. government. The mom owns several beauty schools in the Washington, D.C. area. She started off by cutting hair to support her family when all was lost in Kuwait.’
