10. Justin Hall makes for an intriguing sleeper pick

Justin Hall of Ball State was set to be one of my top sleepers in the NFL’s 2021 Draft, he shocked us all by returning to Ball State for another season.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound wide receiver is getting ready for his fifth year in the MAC and he’s looking to electrify his team yet again. Hall has produced big-time in 43 career games as he’s accumulated 257 catches, 2,772 receiving yards and 13 receiving touchdowns. He impacts the game in other ways though, like the ground, for example, Hall has carried the ball 85 times in a Ball State uniform, he’s tallied 610 rushing yards and four touchdowns as he runs for an exquisite 7.2 yards per carry.

The versatility that Hall possesses is a trait that every NFL team would obsess over. Hall impacts the game as a receiver, runner, and on special teams. He stretches the field both vertically and horizontally.

Justin is lethal with the ball in his hands, he makes quick and violent cuts that leave defenders begging for help. He has great speed, is super quick and is very creative with the ball in his hands. This kid has elite burst too, he’s a tough runner and is a freak athlete.

I think there is plenty to like with Justin Hall and I’d be shocked if he wasn’t selected in the first five rounds in 2022, he’s setting up to be a very nice value pick.
