Derick Hall, a Gulfport, Mississippi native, is commended by the Mississippi Legislature for winning Super Bowl LX with the Seattle Seahawks on February 8, 2026, recording two sacks in the 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots

Hall was born premature at 23.5 weeks weighing under 3 pounds with no heartbeat and given a 99% chance of not surviving his first night, yet went on to letter in three sports at Gulfport High School and become a four-star football recruit

He was a three-year starter and all-SEC linebacker at Auburn University (2021, 2022) before being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2023, joining the 1.6% of college players who reach the NFL

Hall founded the Derick Hall One Percent Foundation with his mother to support premature babies and their families, combat food insecurity, and address childhood obesity in underserved communities

In 2022, he used his name, image, and likeness earnings to send five 18-wheelers of water, food, and supplies to Jackson, Mississippi, during the city's water crisis
