The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Pittsburgh safety Erick Hallett II in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft with the No. 208 overall pick.
Hallett was Pittsburgh’s full-time starter at free safety in the last two seasons and earned Second Team All-ACC honors as a senior. In his career with the Panthers, Hallett recorded eight interceptions and returned one for a touchdown.
At his pro day, Hallett measured in at 5’10, 195 pounds and recorded a 37.5-inch vertical. He was reportedly timed at 4.44 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
In Jacksonville, Hallett joins a suddenly crowded group of safeties. The team already has a starting duo in Andre Cisco and Rayshawn Jenkins, and frequently rotates Andrew Wingard into the lineup. Earlier in the fifth round, the team added former Texas A&M safety Antonio Johnson.
Hallett was the third of three sixth-round picks for the Jaguars. The team is scheduled to pick three times in the seventh round, as well.
