College career
After graduating from Wesleyan School in Norcross, Georgia, Hall attended the United States Air Force Academy, where he lettered in football for three years. He was initially recruited to play quarterback, but after his freshman year he was converted to running back. During his senior year he played wide receiver in addition to running back and return specialist.[1]
Hall set an Air Force record with 275 yards rushing in a win against Army on November 3, 2007.[2] He also rushed for one touchdown, caught three passes for 19 yards, and returned three punts for 39 yards.[3]
On November 10 against Notre Dame, Hall rushed for 132 yards on 32 carries, caught two passes for 31 yards, and returned three kickoffs for 99 yards.[4] He finished with 272 all-purpose yards in the win.[2]
He was the only player in the country to lead his team in rushing and receiving during his senior year. He finished third in the nation in all-purpose yards.[2] Late in his senior year (2007), he was campaigned to win the Heisman Trophy.
Air Force
From 2008–2009, Hall served in the United States Air Force as a second lieutenant. He was based in Hill Air Force Base in Utah as a maintenance officer.[5]
Professional career
Philadelphia Eagles
After going undrafted in the 2008 NFL Draft, Hall tried out for the Atlanta Falcons during minicamp, but was not offered a contract. He also had a tryout for the Buffalo Bills.[5]
Hall was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles to a three-year contract on March 11, 2010.[6] Hall had worked out at the University of Utah's Pro Day on March 8.[5] He was waived during final cuts on September 4, and re-signed to the team's practice squad on September 5.[7] He was promoted to the active roster on October 9 following an injury to Riley Cooper.[8] Hall rushed for 19 yards on four carries with one reception for five yards in week 7 against the Tennessee Titans.[9]
Hall caught his first career touchdown pass on a four-yard reception from Kevin Kolb in the 2010 season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on January 2, 2011; he finished the game with six receptions for 84 yards.[10]
During the 2011 offseason, Hall competed for the Eagles' sixth receiver spot and punt-returning duties with Sinorice Moss and Johnnie Lee Higgins.[11][12] Despite leading the team in catches and receiving yards during the preseason, Hall was waived by the Eagles during final roster cuts on September 3, 2011, as the Eagles elected to only keep five receivers on the active roster.[13] He was re-signed to the team's practice squad the following day. Hall was promoted to the active roster on November 16.[14]
