The positives of Houston's Logan Hall can also be viewed as a negative.Īs a member of the Cougars, Hall primarily played along the defensive interior and excelled in this role, too. The two-year starter grew throughout his time in Houston and became a physical force along the defensive front. Hall overwhelmed lower-level competition with his length, violent hands and consistent drive.īut his 6'6", 283-pound frame indicates he's more suited to play base end at the NFL level. Hall shouldn't be viewed as a typical edge-rusher because he's not. He's more of a straight-line defender with a lanky body type to fill run and throwing lanes. His development should continue, of course.

Considering the uncertain status of Ndamukong Suh and Steve McLendon, Hall adds the size, length and physicality necessary for the Buccaneers to consistently win at the point of attack and let the team’s talented edge-rushers go to work. Strengths : Perfect build for position, elite athletic scores, understands pro-style route concepts Hall can line up on the edge if needed, play 5-technique and move inside, where he spent most of his time as part of the Cougars program. #BARAHA 10.5 FULL VERSION WITH CRACK PROFESSIONAL#.
