Hall played one game for the Commanders this season as a practice squad elevation. In that game, he played on defensive snap and 21 on special teams. Hall made one combined tackle.
The Atlanta Falcons selected Hall at No. 108 overall in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He received strong praise for his natural instincts and physical presence.
“Hall plays with inconsistent technique but a natural feel for making a play on the football. He lacks restraint and has head-first play qualities that create risk-reward in coverage,” wrote NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. “He loses positioning when trailing routes and is missing top-end speed to keep from being stacked by talented targets. However, his timing and accuracy to affect the catch-point offers hope that he can improve his technique. That said, he has limitations that might push him toward a zone-based defense where he can focus on playing downhill both in coverage and with plus run support.”
