Before the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Emanuel Hall was a fringe Day 2/Day 3 projected pick in the NFL Draft. He never had a true breakout season at Mizzou, despite playing with a quarterback who is expected to be taken in the first round. Emanuel Hall never had a 1,000 yard receiving season, he didn't return punts or kicks, and only lead his team in receiving yards in one season. So why is Emanuel Hall now being projected much more favorably to the NFL?
The primary reasons for an NFL team wanting to add Emanuel Hall is not necessarily his production.
