Chicago Bears Rookies: The Future Is Bright
By Flo Ottis
CB Deiondre’ Hall
At 6-2 and with 34 3/8″ arms, the Northern Iowa product has the prerequisites to be a successful cover corner in the NFL. Yet he’s not seeing the snaps you’d expect a future starting CB to be getting. The reason for that is simple — he’s the Bears’ rawest defensive back, and it’s not even close. He’s strong and has an exceptional nose for the football, but at the same time he appears wild in coverage and struggles to control his lanky frame. Thankfully, his weaknesses can be converted into weapons in the future. Hall has undeniable big-play ability (especially in the red zone) and it’s only a matter of time until he turns into a more polished ball hawk. Of all Bears cornerbacks, Deiondre’ Hall has the best chance to be the No.1 CB for years to come.
