Leon Hall

  • 32-years-old
  • 5-foot-11, 193 pounds

2016 stats (in 12 games with the New York Giants):

  • 30 total tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble
  • 1 interception, 2 pass breakups

Another former member of Zimmer’s defense when the Minnesota coach was with the Bengals, Hall could be a good candidate to land with the Vikings if the team decides to move on from Terence Newman.

Hall has played in the NFL for 10 seasons and he started 76 games for the Bengals when Zimmer was coaching the defense from 2008 to 2013. During that time, the cornerback racked up a total of 18 interceptions and 84 pass breakups.

Despite his experience in the league and in Zimmer’s defense, Hall is not the player he once was and Minnesota could opt to just roll with one of the younger corners on their roster next season instead.
