Summer work pays off
Hall says this season’s success came from the work he and his teammates put in during the offseason.
“We spent a lot of time throughout the summer perfecting timing on a lot of routes. Even getting my O-Line out there in the summer calling out the right protections. That was the biggest difference for us, working without the shoulder pads, going seven on seven every day,” he said.
