Overview
If Bryce Hall didn’t have the medical or tackling concerns, he would likely be the No. 2 corner in this draft class. He has the desired traits in coverage to be effective, especially in off-coverage. Hall has really good length which he uses to its max to contest the catch point and make receivers' lives difficult.
There is a concern about his tackling, but he flashes the potential. He just needs to be more consistent with his finish. With all the traits that Hall brings, he is going have a lot of interested suitors and betting on their ability to make his tackling consistent.
