Derick Hall, the Seattle Seahawks linebacker who has been on a remarkable journey to become an NFL champion, says he feels "blessed" not only for winning the title but also for being alive after being born with a 1% chance of survival. The 24-year-old Hall's story is one of resilience and determination, as he was born four months premature in 2001 and weighed less than 3lbs, requiring life support.
Hall's journey to becoming an NFL champion began when the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Sunday's Super Bowl. The linebacker played a key role in the game, claiming two sacks in a dominant defensive display. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, Hall has persevered and achieved great success on the field.
Hall expressed his gratitude to his mother, who refused to have his life support discontinued when he was born, allowing him to survive against all odds. He also credited his team-mates and coaches for believing in him since his first training camp. The linebacker's story is an inspiration to many, demonstrating that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.
In a statement, Hall said: "Everyone knows my story, what it took for me to get here, what it took for me just to be alive and have the chance." He also praised his mother, saying she's an unsung hero who has always fought for him. Hall's journey to becoming an NFL champion is a testament to his strength and resilience.
The Seahawks' victory in Super Bowl 60 was their second championship win, with coach Aden Durde becoming the first overseas coach to achieve this feat. The team's defensive coordinator credited the players' execution and special teams for the win. The victory marks a special moment for the Seahawks, who have stood on "hallowed ground" after winning two Super Bowls.
Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold also celebrated his first Super Bowl win with the Seahawks, crediting his team-mates and coaches for believing in him throughout his career. He praised his parents, saying they were the ones who believed in him from the start, allowing him to play with confidence. Darnold expressed gratitude to his wife, Anna, who has been a constant source of support throughout his journey.

I'm beyond proud of Derick Hall for his incredible journey to becoming an NFL champion! 
He's literally living proof that with hard work & determination, anything is possible! 
I mean, can you even imagine being born with a 1% chance of survival? 
His mom for refusing to give up on him is truly an unsung hero 
. And let's not forget his team-mates & coaches who believed in him from day one! 
The Seahawks' victory in Super Bowl 60 was a total nail-biter, but I'm so glad they came out on top!

he was born with like 1% chance of survival but still managed to become an nfl champion 
i mean can you even imagine having life support for four whole months?? his mom refusing to take it away from him is like the ultimate selfless act of love 
and now he's paying it forward by crediting her as the real hero behind his success 
. I love how he's not even going to take credit for himself, like "what it took for me to get here" is way too humble, you feel? But I think that's what makes him so relatable. And can we talk about his mom for a sec? She's literally the real MVP 
Hall's story is literally the ultimate rags 2 riches tale - born at like 1% chance of survival & still manages to become an NFL champ 
that's some crazy love right there. But honestly, its kinda weird how every1 knows his story & hes just gonna go out there & crush it on the field without any extra credit for surviving infancy 
... I mean, refusing to give up on him when all hope seemed lost is just amazing 
It's a testament to the power of resilience and determination. We can all learn from his story 
... so let's keep pushing ourselves to achieve greatness
