The Atlanta Falcons selected cornerback Darren Hall with the No. 108 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Hall plays with good instincts and has shown he can make plays on the ball. As a first-team all-Mountain West selection following the 2020 season, he recored 37 tackles and three interceptions in eight games.
With the 108th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select cornerback Darren Hall from San Diego State University.
