favorite reason for Hall:
"Hall has demonstrated that he can perform equally well in man-to-man and zone coverage, a trait all NFL teams covet because they like to mix coverages and camouflage them to confuse quarterbacks".
(April 17, 2007) -- This is the latest you need to know about Michigan cornerback Leon Hall (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2007/hall_leon): After an impressive workout at the NFL Scouting Combine (highlighted by a 4.39 clocking in the 40-yard dash), he decided to participate only in position drills during Michigan's Pro Day on March 16.
Most draft projections have Hall as the first cornerback to be selected, likely within the top 10 picks.
His most recent team visit was scheduled with the Tennessee Titans on April 17. He has visited with the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as scheduled visits with the New England Patriots and Washington Redskins.

Hall has demonstrated that he can perform equally well in man-to-man and zone coverage, a trait all NFL teams covet because they like to mix coverages and camouflage them to confuse quarterbacks.
Scouts like his physical play, especially in run support. He takes full advantage of his solid, 5-foot-11, 193-pound frame. They also rave about his instincts, his ability to anticipate plays, and his ball skills.
This is what Hall has to say about himself: (On why he has been able to excel in man-to-man and zone coverages) "We changed up our schemes depending on the offense, so one game we'd play a lot of bump, one game we might play off ... it changed up week to week. I think I am definitely an overall corner. I play the run very well along with pass coverage."
(On what he can do to turn his school-record 43 pass breakups into interceptions; he finished his collegiate career with 12 pickoffs) "I think that comes a lot with film study, you watching yourself and realizing you can't waste movements. I think one wasted movement will keep you from a pass break up or keep you from intercepting. I think it's just an extra step, that extra film study, the extra rep just to get you the next step from a pass breakup to an interception."
(On studying videotape of opponents) "I would say for any position you definitely have to watch a lot of film as far as learning the other team tendencies, how a player is, how he reacts in certain situations. I think that just gets you to that next level."
