This guy has some bizarre numbers....

4 years in the NFL, played in 45 games (6 starts)

71 targets, 37 receptions (52.1% catch rate), 772 yards, 20.9 ypc, 5 td

In 2019 he played in 9 games, had 7 receptions for 261 yards and a 37.3 average (!!!!).

What did he do, run nothing but go routes every time on the field?

Dude ran a 4.28 40 at his pro day.

I was wondering if he could also be a ST/Return guy with that speed. Looks like he returned 26 kicks in 2018, but only 3 since then so he's not exactly Cordarrelle Patterson.

Looking forward to the Pron 'Stache crew coming up with new game thread name suggestions for BbtL.

Just one of those routes had any similarities to those terrifying routes run by Tyreek where he then just blazes by a safety for huge YAC. I wonder if they’ll try that with Hall. Given the current info on Mac’s and Cam’s arms, why throw a duck 30 yards when you can throw it on a line 15 yards and let Hall stretch it to 30. Double TE’s might clear out the underneath coverage.

One thing I like from those highlights... not only does he have a crazy fast 40 time... he looks like he PLAYS fast.

Now there must be some real drawbacks to this guy because someone with his speed (game speed too, not just workout speed) seems like he should have some real potential.

I am looking forward to the story about how the Patriots had graded him out as a 2nd round pick 5 years ago and they finally got the chance to bring him in, and they were not at all surprised by his successes as the 5th WR and main KR with 4 and 2 TDs respectively in 2021-22.
