Virginia Tech football: Former Hokie DeAngelo Hall is now an NFL coach

Former Virginia Tech star DeAngelo Hall is now an official coach. The former star recruit in the class of 2001 played cornerback for Virginia Tech from 2001-03 and entered the 2004 NFL draft. Hall was selected No. 8 overall by the Atlanta Falcons and went on to play 14 NFL seasons, most of them in Washington.

Hall retired after the 2017 season and did some media work, including working in Washington’s radio broadcast booth for two seasons. Hall also worked for the NFL Network, but he’d often expressed a desire to coach since his playing days ended, and it was only a matter of when and where — college or the NFL?
