For the second time in three years DeAngelo Hall has suffered a significant injury and will miss a substantial playing time. In 2014, during a third week match against the Philadelphia Eagles, the standout Hokie defensive back tore his Achilles’ tendon. Five weeks later he suffered a setback when he re-injured the damaged tendon, effectively ending his season.
In 2015 Hall switched positions from cornerback to safety. 2015 was also the season that DeAngelo became the first player in NFL history to score five touchdowns off fumble recoveries and also return five interceptions for a score.
