Bryce Hall took an unexpected freefall in last weekend’s draft due to concerns over a fractured ankle suffered during his senior year at the University of Virginia. The Jets took a chance on Hall in the fifth-round, though, betting on his potential and getting the sign-off from their medical team.
If Hall had left following his junior season, he could have likely been a first-round pick. Instead, he returned to Virginia to bet on himself and get his degree.
Now, the Jets are getting a talented cornerback with a chip on his shoulder. They’re also getting a cornerback who is officially off the market. Hall took to his Instagram to share his marriage proposal to his long-time girlfriend, Anzel Viljoen, a New Zealand native on Virginia’s field hockey team.
Now engaged, Hall has had quite the week since being drafted by the Jets. If all goes well, he’s now in two long-term commitments.
Hall played on his last name, saying that his fiance is now “in it for the long Hall.” The Jets are hoping that Hall will be with them for the long-haul as well.
