Etric Pruitt (born August 16, 1981) is a former American football defensive back. He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 2004 NFL draft.{{Cite web |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2004/draft.htm |title=2004 NFL Draft Listing |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en |access-date=2023-05-06}} Pruitt played for the Seattle Seahawks in 2005 as a special teams player and third-string safety. Having never played safety throughout the season as well as the playoffs, he played an important role in Super Bowl XL as Seattle's second string safety Marquand Manuel (filling in for first-string Ken Hamlin, who was out most of the season) was injured in the second quarter. In 2010, Pruitt signed to play with the Southern Indoor Football League (SIFL) team, the Mobile Bay Tarpons.
