Back to EpisodesHall's Super Bowl Sack Storm: Auburn's Miracle to MVP
Description
Derick Hall, a former Auburn Tigers linebacker, stole the spotlight in Super Bowl LVI, contributing significantly to the Seattle Seahawks victory over the New England Patriots. Hall, who was born prematurely and weighed just two pounds, recorded two sacks and a forced fumble in his ten pass-rush snaps, earning him a spot in the Super Bowl MVP conversation. His impressive performance, which included a career-first Super Bowl sack, set the tone for Seattles dominant defensive play. Halls comeback story was further celebrated by four other ex-Tigers, including Seahawks coaches Josh Bynes and Neiko Thorpe, and corner Nehemiah Pritchett. Even Patriots corner Carlton Davis, another Auburn alum, witnessed his former teammates triumph.
