Evan Hull’s zen drives his NFL Draft process

Evan Hull’s favorite yoga pose is the half-pigeon.

In his preparation for the NFL Draft in April, Hull has taken on more yoga, meditation and prayer this winter to clear his head. The half-pigeon is a full-body exercise, but it especially strengthens the lower back, hips and quadriceps.

After Hull participated in the Senior Bowl in early February, kicking off the second half of his pre-draft training process, the pose likely helped him develop physically. He identified his short-area explosiveness as the aspect of his game he’s worked on most since February, and it was a skill he looked forward to showcasing at the NFL Scouting Combine’s drills and testing.
