If you are Browns GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski, this is one the last things you want to hear about your players, especially a rookie. The Browns came into training camp very high on Hall after taking him with the No. 54 overall pick in the draft.
Hall recently made his hometown debut in the Browns' preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers last weekend, recording one tackle in Cleveland's 23-10 loss.
The rookie defensive lineman is an Ohio native; and attended Streetsboro High School in Streetsboro, Ohio. Hall grew up in Cleveland, lived in Garfield Heights until he was 15 years old, and went to Benedictine High School.
