Jaren Hall 2023 NFL draft projection: How high could the BYU Cougars QB go?

Jaren Hall spent four impressive seasons with the BYU Cougars. The quarterback is now among the top prospects heading into the 2023 NFL draft.

Many analysts believe Hall will get picked in the sixth round of the draft.

The competition among the quarterbacks in this year's draft is intense. With the likes of Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson and Will Levis, it's unlikely that Hall will go above them.

Additionally, Hall is considered slightly undersized for a quarterback at 6-foot, 207 pounds. However, he has the athleticism and mobility to minimize the impact of his stature.

Hall is also very quick and has a compact release which allows him to distribute the ball in a hurry. He does a good job by generating power with his lower half and driving the ball down the field.

The 24-year-old will certainly have a few NFL teams keeping tabs on him in the draft. It is believed that the Cincinnati Bengals view Hall as a potential backup to Joe Burrow.
