Word out of Indianapolis is that super-sized WR Roy Hall appears poised to finally make an impact. Injuries and poor fundamentals kept him from so much as catching a pass during his rookie year, but a team insider noted to PFW that he has finally learned how to catch the ball with his hands instead of trapping it against his body and looks markedly more natural on the field. At 6-3 and 240 pounds, he’s always had the body. The insider also noted that undrafted rookie WR Sam Giguere out of Canada has been a revelation. Nonetheless, he faces an uphill battle to earn a roster spot.
This is very promising. If Hall is ready, it would give us an incredible WR quartet in Wayne, Harrison, Gonzo, and Hall. Hall is absolutely a beast physically. It would be awesome if he could play like David Boston in his Arizona Cardinals days. At 6"3 240, and around a 4.4 forty, he's a tremendous athlete to say the least. He threw out his shoulder for a stretch last year after breaking a wedge on special teams, and the Colts probably regretted putting him on the IR based on how thin our WR corps got.
