On Saturday morning, Emanuel Hall made the 30 minute drive from his Franklin, Tenn.,home to Tootsie’s bar on Broadway, to make an appearance on the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
He was introduced as one of the best remaining players in the NFL Draft, as it entered its final day, with respected opinions such as that of former NFL wideout and co-host Nate Burleson, who thought Hall would be a steal for a team in the fifth round, let alone the seventh.
Television appearances turned out to be the least of Hall’s problems on Saturday. Considered a second- or third-round pick by many, Hall had a free fall that made former teammate Drew Lock’s long wait look relatively minor.
