The aldotcomSports Emmy-winning series 'Road to the Pros' is back to tell the story of Auburn edge rusher derick_hall9's Mississippi roots, and his unlikely journey from premature birth to the pride of Gulfport. Check out part one:
— a four-part documentary examining Hall’s childhood, his development into an All-SEC edge rusher at Auburn and his path to the NFL, culminating with his impending selection in this month’s NFL Draft.
Hall began playing flag football when he was 4 years old. Gooden-Crandle and his father, Cedric Crandle, were nervous to let him play. There was hesitation at first, but their concerns were eased once Hall got on the field and started playing with the rest of the kids his age. “I kept saying, ‘Nah, he can’t be that tough; he can’t be that tough, right?” his uncle, Kevin Gooden said. “Then one night, my sister showed me a tape of him running the ball, and he just completely ran a kid slap over.”
“I just loved him on offense,” Kevin Gooden said. “I think he did great things on offense, but he was just a dog on defense, too—middle linebacker, defensive end. They put him everywhere.” “If Ole Miss or Mississippi State wanted a kid from the state of Mississippi, it was hard to be able to pull a kid,” Woodson said. “…To be honest with you, I felt that it was a longshot.”
“He’s like, ‘What’s this?’” Hall recalled. “I had my head down, and he’s like, ‘You suck. You’ll never play at Auburn. You’re not good enough. If you keep this up, I’m going to take my offer from you.’ He was just — I’m talking about putting it to me.”
