Hall, who was dominant for three days of Shrine practice, measured 6004/308 pounds. He touched an impressive 38 inches in the vertical jump, reached 9-feet-8-inches in the broad jump and completed 36 reps on the bench.

6'0 and some change. People keep comparing him to Aaron Donald, which makes sense, as their stats are nearly identical.

But PJ's productivity is straight up unbelievable. 14 blocked kicks? as I recall from a pass rusher/interior lineman? Nearly hundred tackles for loss? Was it forty-something sacks? 10 forced fumbles? 30 passes broken up? Some interceptions?

EDIT - here you go. Check out these stats. https://saintsreport.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7011503&postcount=81

I hear you EJW. But let's let him finish his pro day, see the rest of the measurables come in. He's killing it.

Compare Hall's measurables to Aaron Donald's.

Then compare their productivity.

Then re-wind his shrine game tape.

I'm telling you guys, this PJ Hall is a diamond.

Finally got around to checking this guy out.

Btw, hats off to you both for digging him up.

He strikes me as a strictly 4-3 LE in the Reggie White mold. Obviously not as tall but just as athletic size/speed. White went 6-5 291 and could run a 4.6. Bruce smith was 6-4 265 and could also run a 4.6.

Looking over his tape he seems to have gotten his best pressure from the stand-up (elephant) DE position/wide 9 technique. He seems to also have some NT potential but I dont think that he has the build of Aaron Donald and Geno Atkins for 3 tech.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the 4-3 wide 9 left DE would likely be where his body type could succeed in adding pressure early as a pro.

Reggie White himself used to rush pretty often from this stance.

Cam Jordan currently occupies that spot but I also think that he can add pressure on passing downs inside at NT.
