DeAngelo Hall enters his third season with the Panthers as the cornerbacks coach after making his coaching debut with the Carolina Panthers in 2023. A three-time Pro Bowl selection and multi-year team captain, Hall enjoyed a 14-year NFL career as a defensive back, playing for Atlanta (2004-07), Oakland (2008) and Washington (2008-17).
In his first season in the coaching ranks, Hall assisted a unit that allowed just 171.5 passing yards per game, which was the lowest in a season in franchise history and third lowest in the league in 2023.
Originally selected by the Falcons with the eighth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, Hall finished with 43 interceptions, including five returned for touchdown. He tied an NFL record by recording four interceptions in a single game at Chicago (10/24/10). He also holds the NFL record for most fumble return yardage in a career (328), while his five career fumble return touchdowns rank second behind Hall of Famer Jason Taylor.
Hall earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2005 with the Falcons, after leading the team with a career-high six interceptions. Hall earned his second career Pro Bowl selection the following season in 2006 after tallying 56 tackles, a team-high four interceptions, one fumble recovery and a career-high 16 passes defensed. According to STATS Inc., less than half (48.7 percent) of the passes thrown his direction were completed that season.
Hall earned his third career Pro Bowl selection in 2010 with Washington after notching a team-leading and career-high tying five interceptions. The five interceptions were tied for the fifth-most in the NFL that season and Hall's eight total takeaways tied for most in the NFL.
Prior to his start in coaching, Hall worked as an analyst for NFL Network, beginning in 2019, appearing on various NFL Network shows such as Total Access and Good Morning Football: Weekend, as well as NFL Network's on-location coverage of such events as the Super Bowl and training camps.
A native of Chesapeake, Va., Hall played three seasons at Virginia Tech, recording eight interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and seven receptions for 86 yards with one touchdown. He also returned 56 punts for 839 yards and five touchdowns. His five punt returns for touchdowns rank second in Big East Conference history. He earned first-team All-America honors as a punt returner as a junior and was a semi-finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. In 2016, Hall was inducted into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame.
Hall and his wife, Jada, have six children: Tyrel, Mya, TaLia, Bre, and twins, Tré and DJ.
