He did not start until the middle of his rookie season but over his first three seasons ('07-'09) only Darrelle Revis (64) had more passes defended than Hall (60) and only Charles Woodson (20), Asante Samuel (19), and Antonio Cromartie (15) had more interceptions than Hall's 14. But none of those top 4 cover corners had as many tackles as Hall (214)I was always a big fan of Hall he was a very good CB before the injuries. Hall always played hard and acted very professionally. Hall and Johnathan Joseph were a great tandem and a big reason for Zimmer's early success. Our front 7 wasn't great talent wise but these 2 locked things up on the outside making it easier for the guys up front.
What hurt him with Bengal fans was the fact that he got burnt once in college by Ted Ginn. After that he was called "too slow" despite being one of the fastest CBs in his draft class (4.38 forty).
