Graded Quarterback Traits:
- Accuracy: 4/10 (Misses a lot of throws especially deep. Not all are ugly misses but some cause receivers to slow down or change trajectory. Accuracy is better on the run than in the pocket)
- Anticipation: 3/10 (Can get the ball there in stride but underthrows too many passes and makes receivers turn to catch and kill ethier momentum)
- Arm Strength: 4/10 (Sometimes he throws passes that have more juice than expected, but a lot of his passes flutter even on medium throws. Looks like throws are high effort)
- Mechanics: 6/10 (Motion is mostly smooth. Opens up body when throwing to the right and mechanics get erratic under pressure)
- Mobility: 7/10 (Decent ability running especially running around in the pocket. Not the most elusive runner but has the speed to catch a defense off guard)
- Pocket Presence: 4/10 (Uses legs to move around effectively but struggles to feel the pressure. Does not step up in the pocket even when it is wide open)
- Poise: 5/10 (Does not seem afraid of contact but gets jumpy when first read is not there. Also part of the reason he may not flinch to contact is he does not see it coming)
- Progressions: 5/10 (It looks like a lot of reads or progressions are bluff first reads. He takes a long time to break off the first real read)
Prospect Grade: 38/80; 48% (Backup Potential)
Projected Draft Day: 3/UDFA
Player Comparison: Skylar Thompson
Player Summary:
Hall is a decent athlete that can make things happen with his legs. However he seems to play mostly within a script and when he is required to go off script he loses something. His arm is below average overall although he can wind up on the intermediate throws if needed but too many passes flutter. He is routinely short on deep throws and struggles to feel pressure. He can stick as a backup due to his athleticism but do not expect anything special.
