Michael Hall Jr. Has Attracted Comparisons To An NFL Great

Michael Hall Jr., a former Ohio State standout, previously drew comparisons to Los Angeles Rams legend Aaron Donald and is considered a star in the making.

Hall made 24 tackles and 1.5 sacks for the Buckeyes last season, before the Cleveland Browns selected him as the 54th overall pick.

The 21-year-old, who stands at 6ft 3in and weighs 300lbs, has been touted as a player who could carve become a starter early in his career, though that is now in doubt following news of his impending arrest.

While there’s no word on what took place, it seems like a very serious matter, though folks shouldn’t rush to judgment due to the lack of information.

All we know for now is that he’s likely to be arrested, something which could have a significant impact on the Browns’ defense. Stay tuned.
