The NY Jets seemingly placed an emphasis on adding high-character leaders in the 2020 NFL Draft and fifth-round pick Bryce Hall is a shining example of that.
A former second-team All-American selection, Hall starred at the University of Virginia earning first-team All-ACC honors in a junior season where he led the FBS in passes defended.
It was his second year as a starter — and just his third playing the position (we’ll get to that) — but Hall was already showing the potential to be an early-round NFL draft pick.
Unfortunately, his college career was ended prematurely following a devastating ankle injury that wiped out all but six games of his senior season.
