Worth a look see? He was very productive with Lock throwing to him at Mizzu.
From NFL Draft-
Overview
One-trick pony at Missouri with impressive turbo boost to rocket past cornerbacks and take the top off of defenses. Hall's transition into the NFL could be slowed by the challenge of physical press corners with good top-end speed, but his athleticism and short-area quickness should allow him to counter as a three-level route-runner with more exposure to an NFL route tree. It could take time, but he has the size and speed to become a low-volume, high-impact WR2/WR3.
HALL - (
New Window )
More sprinter than polished receiver
Route inventory lacking with work confined to one quadrant of the field
Routes are fast but lack finesse
Needs better routes adjustments according to coverage
Ball skills are below average with too many career drops
Doesn't attack football and allows throws to beat him up
Needs to prove he can compete for the ball in traffic
Lacked competitiveness against Georgia and Deandre Baker
Im not for or against them signing him I just think we need to look at other positions. I kind of like our top WRs right now. no stars but I think they can get the job done in short and medium passing and maybe slayton can stretch the field if he can stay healthy.
BBI must be getting smarter.
They're very similar players, IMO
Again, that was pretty off topic, I'm just saying "mark my words" kinda thing.
But yeah, I remember seeing Hall mocked in rounds 3/4, surprised so many are saying they don't even want to give him a chance. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Joey (was it Joey?) take him for the Giants in the BBI mock draft?
But you keep on dreaming based on some athletic tests. Despite all evidence contrary.
Slayton was the superior prospect unless you were the late Al Davis and only cared about height/weight/speed. Everything about Hall’s game is a lack of desire to get hit, improve, etc. He is one of those players that just wants to go out there and collect a paycheck.

He can absolutely fly and destroyed the Combine this year, but he can't stay on the field. That's the main problem. He also has a case of the dropsies, but the main issue is his durability.

Kind of weird to say since he's never collected a paycheck from any game action (neither has Slayton), but okay...
