Arizona's Max Hall became the first rookie free agent quarterback to start a game in the NFL since Jim Zorn in 1976. The Cardinal's upset New Orleans 30-20. What OURLADS'DRAFT GUIDE said about Hall:
Hall, Max BYU 6005 209 4.77
Three-year starter. Arizona State transfer, older and more mature. Was on a mission and came back and had an excellent sophomore season and has built on that the last two years. Plays in both the I-formation and shotgun sets. Very accurate. Quick to setup point, getting away from the center. Only Levi Brown had more ball velocity than Hall at the Combine. Good mechanics with good foot quickness. A passer that has touch and velocity to 40-45 yards. Puts the ball on the money, hitting receivers in stride on wheel routes, seams, and swing passes. A good leader that is reliable, smart, and competitive. Good anticipation on downfield routes. Compact arm with a quick delivery. Looks like he’s playing hot potato when he catches the ball in shotgun and gets it out to his tight end or backs. Can throw on the move with touch and accuracy. Can avoid the rush. Good athlete. In BYU’s upset over Oklahoma, he passed for 329 yards, hitting 26 of 38 passes for 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Threw for seven touchdowns against UCLA. Ball velocity of 52 miles per hour. Had a 65.3% completion rate with 903/1382, 11365 yards, 94 touchdowns, and 40 interceptions over his career. OSR:6/16. Sixth/seventh round. (A-30, H-9, SS-4.38, VJ-32).
