The Verdict:
“Jaren Hall entered 2022 as Draft Twitter’s golden child, ready to cement himself as QB1. And despite having an impressive year throwing for over 3,000 yards and having 34 TD’s to just 6 interceptions, his star has faded a little. Hall is a fun watch; a gamer who seems to thrive when the lights shine brightest. And his accuracy gives you confidence, something that some more highly touted quarterbacks in this class don’t necessarily provide. That being said, he’s undersized, and there’s an unnerving feeling he might be ‘maxed out’ at this level. Hall adds another string to his bow with his rushing prowess, something most NFL teams covet from their signal caller nowadays. But okay arm + good accuracy + good athleticism + small stature = backup QB with developmental upside.”
