Derick Hall was born four months premature without a heartbeat, a bleed in his brain and weighing only two pounds. Told by doctor’s that he would never walk or talk, his mother was faced with a difficult decision. She refused to sign a Do Not Resuscitate form and instead fought for her son’s life. Now, he is headed to the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks.

Wishing so bad for him to have a great career in the NFL. To God be the glory. Happy mother's day to all the beautiful and brave mothers without whom we won't be who we are. May God bless y'all. 🙏🏾

He is exactly the type of player and person that Pete and Schneider look for. The type that continually works hard, has beat the odds, and doesn't take for granted their talent.

An amazing, true story. Going to wish a very, very happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. And on this Mother's Day, here is a very special quote. "My mother has always been my emotional barometer and my guidance. I was lucky enough to get to have one woman who truly helped me through everything." -Emma Stone

Mrs. Hall you are a wonderful woman. Derick is going to be a super Seahawk! If not for your loving care and courage, we the 12s will have lasting joy watching Derick sack and tackle QBs and running backs for the 49ers, Rams and Cardinals. Thank you!

What happened to the original version that was played on SportsCenter that showed the doctor admitting that the doctors wouldn't have resuscitated him (i.e. let him die)? Why was that section cut out when posted online?
