Well Seattle Seahawks fans, there’s your pass rush help! With the No. 37 overall pick, Seattle selected Auburn’s linebacker Derick Hall.
During his years at Auburn, Hall made a name for himself by terrorizing opposing SEC quarterbacks. The Seahawks will certainly be hoping Hall brings these skills to the NFL, and they have good reason to believe it will happen.
