Red Zone Play: Andre Hal of Fame

On May 30th, 1992 Andre Jeroy Hal Jr entered the world, destined to play football. As a four year started in high school, Hal helped lead his team to the Louisiana state playoffs while landing as the third fastest player in the nation on a state championship track team.

By his senior year in college, he helped lead the Vanderbilt defense and ranked #1 in the SEC for passes defenses in the 2013 season.

When the NFL draft rolled around, Hal sat and waited… and waited… and waited some more.
