In four years at Texas A&M, Daeshon Hall didn’t miss a game. The defensive end went 52 for 52, and logged 32 starts. A redshirt year — be it for a lack of talent or an injury — was out of the question.
Last season, though, as a rookie for the Carolina Panthers, Hall ended up taking that redshirt year. It wasn’t by choice.
The 2017 third-round pick made his debut in the Panthers’ season opener, logging nine defensive snaps and no tackles in a 23-3 win over the 49ers. He injured his knee in practice soon after.
