Darren Hall – CB, San Diego State

Size: 6-foot, 180 pounds

Career stats: 133 total tackles, six interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, 2.5 sacks

Round projection: Round 4-6

Hall began his career as a safety, before making the change to cornerback where he could really flourish in coverage, leading the Mountain West Conference in interceptions in 2020 en route to being named a First-Team All-Conference selection.

It remains to be seen whether Hall can body up against physical outside receivers in the NFL, but this week will give him a chance to prove he’s capable.

Cornerback remains a revolving door for the Giants opposite James Bradberry, but a solid week from Hall could land him on the Giants’ radar.
