General Info:

Hall grew up in Oklahoma before moving to Belton, Texas, where he attended Belton High School.

He racked up 54 tackles and ten tackles for loss as a senior, and committed to play for Houston at the college level as a three-star recruit. Offers from Colorado State, Toledo and Tulsa were also on the table.

Hall’s role with the Cougars grew throughout his four seasons and in his senior year, his production spiked as he tallied six sacks and 13 tackles for loss.

Positional Skills:

Strengths

Hall is an interesting prospect in that his physical makeup, combining both size and athleticism, allows him to line up in different spots, whether it be as a defensive end or a defensive tackle.

He grades out as an above average athlete whether viewed as a tackle (98^th percentile) or an end (73^rd percentile).

When watching Hall’s tape, one word that comes to mind is: ‘power’. He is really physical versus both the run and the pass.

Against the pass, Hall has the ability to bull rush a center back into the quarterback. He generates good ‘knock back’ with his initial blow and possesses strong hands.

In the run game, especially when lined up more centrally, Hall can mess up the picture for the ball carrier and is also capable of being a ‘clogger’, holding double team blocks without giving up much ground.

Beyond just raw power, Hall displayed some explosion to fire off the snap of the ball quickly.

He possesses mobility as well as the motor and aggression evaluators will be looking for.

Hall has experience on special teams and blocked a field goal in his sophomore season.

Another appealing aspect of Hall is that he doesn’t turn 22 until the week before the 2022 NFL Draft.

Weaknesses

While Hall occasionally showed the ability to use his hands to beat his opponent, he is not what you would call a skilled or ‘finesse’ rusher at this time.

There were instances on tape when he struggled to shed blocks and make a play on the ball carrier.

Hall can also be guilty of being too aggressive at times, which is something NFL competition could take advantage of.

There will be questions as to the best way to use Hall, and the team who drafts him will need to have a plan for how to get the most out of his skillset.

Fit with the Packers:

Hall would add some sizzle to a Packers’ defensive line group which is currently lacking in that department.

He could be used in a variety of different spots, and could pair well as a complement to the skillset of Kenny Clark.

The Packers tend to lean towards younger prospects with upside in the early rounds of the draft, and Hall would certainly fit that specification.

Hall could be on Green Bay’s radar as a potential pick in the second round.
