Mike Hall Jr. brings disruptive interior pass-rush upside to Illinois-style defensive looks
Mike Hall Jr. is a high-upside defensive lineman known for explosive first-step quickness, interior disruption, and proven pass-rush production: in three seasons at Ohio State (2021-23), he played 28 games with 11 starts, logging 45 tackles, 10.0 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks, and he entered the NFL as a second-round pick in 2024. His appeal is less about volume and more about impact plays—he can collapse pockets and create negative downs for a defense that wants a difference-maker inside. He’s a fit if your team values quick, attacking linemen over space-eating run stoppers.
