A well-traveled fourth-round cornerback out of San Diego State who has bounced across four franchises while carving out a steady depth role.
Darren Hall has become one of the NFL's more nomadic defensive backs, moving between Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Arizona since his rookie season. A fourth-round pick in 2021, he has never been a full-time starter but has consistently found roster spots as a reliable special-teamer and rotational corner.
Path to the league
Hall played four seasons (2017-2020) at San Diego State, developing into a two-year starter known for instincts and ball skills in zone coverage. The Atlanta Falcons selected him in the fourth round (108th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Hall's best season came in 2022 with Atlanta, when he started 9 of 17 games and recorded 45 tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. He has since cycled through stints with Indianapolis and Arizona, including being claimed off waivers twice, before returning to Atlanta.
2025 season recap
Hall spent 2025 shuttling between practice squad and active roster assignments with Arizona before rejoining Atlanta. His career totals stand at 94 tackles, 1 sack, 6 pass deflections, and 1 forced fumble across parts of five NFL seasons.
