After 134 career tackles, six interceptions and three forced fumbles in four years with San Diego State football, junior Darren Hall is NFL bound.
The 6-foot, 190-pound cornerback was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the third overall pick in Round 4 of the 2021 NFL Draft (108th overall). Originally a safety, Hall converted to cornerback after redshirting but is versatile enough to play either spot.
Hall adds to a growing list of Aztec defensive backs who have been drafted the past decade.
Notables include cornerback Leon McFadden (Round 3 to the Cleveland Browns in 2013), safety Nat Berhe (Round 5 to the New York Giants in 2014), safety Eric Pinkins (Round 6 to the Seattle Seahawks in 2014) and safety Damontae Kazee, who played for the Falcons for four years prior to signing with the Dallas Cowboys in free agency this offseason.
