Here after my Seahawks drafted him - incredible story now let’s have a incredible career

I am stunned... What an incredible origin story for the newest super hero in Seattle! John Schneider had it right - The Seahawks "drafted a grown man today."

I feel like the Seahawks sometimes pick with their hearts and I love that about them. They want to be inspired and want us to be inspired too.

Welcome to the Seahawks Derick...time to reward your awesome family for their hard work and support too! congrats

Just saw him at my golf course less than 2 hours ago. Amazing guy

He’s just so perfect for Seattle, he fits the culture to a tee and it’s no wonder Carroll and Schneider picked him. Along with the inspirational story (which only makes you want to succeed even more) he’s also a community man who’s been giving back to his community since he was a young man!! Wow I seriously feel like I’m getting flash back of Kam Chancellor’s watching this right now rn!! He has the potential to be a Seahawks legend if everything goes to plan!🙏🏼

Welcome to the Seahawks Derrick, Im an instant fan, not just cause of your talent on the field, but a fan of your story and your character! No matter what happens, you are winning at life. I have a gut feeling you're gonna be something special and an inspiration for years to come.

Welcome to Seattle you are simply going to be awesome for us Derick cannot wait to see your power play 💥 just like Bam Kam.

I know Derrick personally from playing him in high school. I remember when he went to auburn he tried to get me to commit there the year after. Truly one of the best souls in the world. No one more deserving than him for the opportunity to play in the NFL!!

Amazing story. I'm glad that young man got drafted by the Seahawks. They're a defensive focused team. As a pass rusher, he's going to get to eat quarterbacks until his belly is full!!! With the other drafts my hawk's have picked so far ( as I'm texting they just selected Zach Charbonnet from ucla) I'm excited for the future of this team. Witherspoon( reminds me of a more violent Richard Sherman), Smith-Nijgba( the best receiver in the draft), Charbonnet ( Runs just like Marshawn Lynch), and last years selections (that had a year to get better), I'm going to love bringing the noise in support of this team!!

From a true Auburn fan we are all proud of you.

He found the right team, and they drafted the right player. Time for me to order the right jersey. Go Hawks!

Currently going through NICU life with my 27 weeker. Dealing with the dread of the doctors. Derick’s story is a great inspiration that my baby will heal and overcome this time. My mothers love and strength along with her will and gods protection will get us through ❤

Welcome to the Seattle Seahawks young man!!!! And praise God for the miracle he bestowed on you and your family. His Grace never ceases to amaze me. God Bless you and your family. Go Hawk's!!!!

Great character human being and a damn good athlete. He has the potential to be a legendary Seahawk.

Derrick is miracle ❤

You are meant to be here, young man. Don’t ever let anyone tell you different. My son was early like you and your story gives me so much hope that some day he can grow to be big and strong as well. Preemies are miracles for sure. Gifts from God. I pray for nothing but the best for your career. God bless you and your family.

This guy definitely deserve to be a Seahawk. Im glad he got draft and can't wait to see what brings to seahawks organization. Go Hawks!!

Wauwww....what a great story you bring to Seahawk and Seattle, we're so excited to have you here.

This young man has a beautiful heart and amazing story I'm so happy that the Seahawks drafted him

Hey Seattle Fans...Auburn fan here..U guys are getting a monster w Derick. He is not the most gifted player. He is a bit stiff sometimes. I'm sure the experts can point out more flaws in his game, but you won't get a guy with more determination and heart and I will take that all day long. Derick Is a the type of player that locker rooms need. The Seattle Seahawks just got better by signing him. I only hate that his AU career was plexxed with multiple coaching debacles. DHall we love you at Auburn and can't wait to watch you work your way into a pro bowler and I have no doubt this will happen. War damn Eagle DHall. Thank you for the memories!

What an amazing story, man, and family... Welcome to Seattle Derick. We're gonna have great fun together. And when you move on from football, you're going to be an even more positive force for the World.

Congrats Derick on overcoming everything you faced it made you a true man!!! A man who is now a Seahawk because you didn’t make excuses you just put you head down and WORK!!!! Terrific story of perseverance.

An Auburn Legend. Love his story!! War Eagle!!!

Hell Yeah...I wished it into existence 💚💙💯

Congratulations Derrick. Stacey and Ms. Bobbie, Derrick’s story is a true testament of a mother’s love, advocating on behalf of her son, love, faith, prayers, and standing on God’s promises!! If God said it, He will do it🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽.

Congratulations Wishing you the most successful, healthy, and long prosperous career You deserve it young man

Wow, the character and drive that defines what a Seahawk is!! Great pick.

He will have an incredible career with the hawks ❤

“Don’t be afraid I am with you always”
