Streetsboro, Ohio native Mike Hall Jr. won't have to go far to get his professional career started. After leaving the 216 to attend The Ohio State University, Hall heard his name called in round two of the 2024 NFL Draft by theHall will become a pro essentially in the city he grew up in with a team and scheme that is a perfect fit for what he does best - create chaos.
Cleveland's defensive line is in a very unique position heading into 2024. They are a veteran-laden group that has a handful of guys on one-year contracts, specifically Maurice Hurst and Shelby Harris. The group of interior linemen is finished out by Dalvin Tomlinson, Siaki Ika and new addition Quinton Jefferson.
Hall joins that group with no pressure to perform right away, but the opportunity to have a major impact on the defense in the years to come.From a statistical standpoint, Hall doesn't jump off the page. He finished 2023 with 24 total tackles, two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. From the defensive tackle position in the college game, stats are hard to come by. But what he does on tape unquestionably stands out.
Hall fits into the Cleveland defensive scheme perfectly and will have an opportunity to thrive under Jim Schwartz. Expect him to take a back seat in 2024 before exploding onto the scene in 2025. This appears to be a very good pick in the second round by the Cleveland Browns.
