Bryce Hall | Virginia | Draft Wire rank: No. 7
If the Colts wanted to wait a little later in the draft to address the cornerback position, Hall could certainly be a target. He has great size and the physicality that Ballard likes so much in his cornerback targets.
From his Build-A-Ballard series, here’s what Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue sees in Hall:
Hall is a bit of a forgotten man in this draft class due to a leg injury that cost him the last half of his Senior season. Make no mistake though, Hall is a real good prospect in this class. He is physical and powerful in press as he moves receivers with ease at the line of scrimmage. He is very willing and able in run defense too as his size and physicality are very evident on film. He also excels in zone and has great ball skills as evident by his astounding 38 career pass deflections. He has struggled in his career in off man and with decent athleticism but those are two things that Ballard has tended to ignore in the past. Overall, Hall checks just about every box for Chris Ballard and what he likes.
Showing teams that his ankle injury isn’t a concern will be huge for Hall, who will be looking to raise his stock this week.
