CORNERBACK LEON HALL VISITS GIANTS…
FOX Sports reports that unrestricted free agent cornerback Leon Hall (Cincinnati Bengals) visited the New York Giants on Monday. However, The New York Post is reporting that Hall left the team’s facility without a contract and that the meeting was a “fact finding mission for both sides.”

Hall has also met with the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.

The 31-year old Hall was originally drafted in the 1st round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. In his nine seasons with the Bengals, Hall has played in 121 regular-season games with 105 starts. Hall started four of the 14 games he played in last season, finishing with 44 tackles, nine pass defenses, and two interceptions. He also won “AFC Player of the Week” for his performance in a December game against the St. Louis Rams.

The aging Hall is a physical press corner who tackles very well. He is very experienced and technically-sound. The strength of Hall’s game is his ability to cover receivers out of the slot position. Versatile, Hall has also played safety in some packages. Hall has suffered two Achilles’ tendon injuries (2011 and 2013) that has robbed him of some of his explosiveness. Hall also had back surgery this offseason to repair a disc injury. He is a hard worker and team leader.
