2. Deiondre’ Hall

Although the Patriots are pretty much all set at the two starting cornerback spots, they need to consider adding another promising prospecting to the secondary. In today’s NFL, you simply can’t have enough good cornerbacks.

Standing at 6-foot-2, Hall is one of the lankiest corners in the 2016 class. He embodies just about everything that NFL coaches look for in the modern cover man.

These are the 3 former Patriots who could earn a Super Bowl 50 ring

Here is Hall elaborating on his strong suits:

"My length is a huge part of my game. At Northern Iowa we played a lot of press man, so that transition to the NFL … I wouldn’t be surprised if I am taken somewhere to play press man. I use my length. That’s one of my main strengths. At the point of attack, being able to be two to three yards away from a receiver and keep my hands on him is huge."

Furthermore, Hall has a knack for the big play, as evidenced by his six picks (two of which were returned for touchdowns) in just 11 games this season. Over the course of his four seasons, Hall accumulated 13 interceptions and four pick-sixes.
