A fifth-round pick out of BYU, Hall was part of a three-quarterback solutions to a season-ending Kirk Cousins injury in 2023. Alongside Nick Mullens and Joshua Dobbs, Hall started two of three game appearances for Minnesota as a rookie, only attempting 20 passes in that time. After trading for Sam Howell to back up J.J. McCarthy, in addition to retaining Brett Rypien and signing undrafted Golden Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer, Hall became the odd man out.
“The Heaviest Man In Football” has an NFL deal. Desmond Watson, 6-foot-6, 464-pound defensive lineman from Florida, signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent. How did PFR not pick up on this?
You do realize that Jaren Hall was released by the Seattle Seahawks, this time, NOT the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings waived him on August 29, 2024 and were poised to add him to their practice squad when the Seahawks swooped in and signed him to theirs first. That’s how Brett Rypien came to be added to the Vikings practice squad on 8/29/24, 2 days after his release by the Bears and the same day that Hall was no longer available.
