He only played one year as a linebacker, but his measurable skills are turning heads.
Jimmy Hall has not had a textbook college career. Initially a safety, Hall was by no means a bad prospect in Northwestern's secondary. But for his senior year, Jimmy Hall moved up a level to start at linebacker. A kind of nickelback/linebacker hybrid, Hall was a key piece in Northwestern's defense. A player who could chip in in the run game, but, more importantly, a linebacker who could stay with slot receivers. He possesses a pretty unique skillset, but how will does that translate to the NFL?
