Max Hall is the versatile magician running the BYO freight train offense alongside future NFL draft picks Harvey Unga and Dennis Pitta. But, this article is about Max Hall and his great Senior season so far and how he projects as a future NFL QB. Like an earlier article I wrote on Case Keenum from Houston, Max Hall has a lot of the intangibles required to be a NFL QB, save for the size as he's a bit short at 6'1" and a bit slight at just a hair over 201 lbs.

Max Hall has a solid arm and good accuracy, he can easily take over a game once he gets into a zone. He can shred a defense with the simplest of ease when he is ready to go, he is also dangerous on the run as well. It is best shown how in the stat line above to the tune of 395 total yards and 4 total TDs against a rusurgent San Diego State defense. Max Hall projects to be a late round selection in the forthcoming 2010 draft but if he sits for a year or two in the right system, he could take over in the future, but he is likely destined to be a high level back up in the right system (WCO/Spread).

San Diego State Pro Day

25 reps from 25 NFL teams showed up in San Diego to watch the Aztec Pro Day. This included vaunted Tennessee running back Arian Foster working out for scouts as well, not sure why, but who am I to judge? Anyways, here are the results courtesy of NFL.com:

LB Russell Allen (6-2 3/4, 230) ran a 4.64 and a 4.63 in the 40-yard dash. Allen posted a 33.5-inch vertical jump, 9-foot, 10-inch broad jump, 4.34 short shuttle, 7.21 three-cone drill and 24 bench press reps.

OL Lance Louis (6-2 3/8, 303) drew a lot of attention from scouts interested in his speed. He ran a 4.76 and 4.80 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.71 in the short shuttle and 8.03 in the three-cone drill. Lewis also posted a 30-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot, 8-inch broad jump and 30 bench press lifts.

Tennessee RB Arian Foster (6-1, 224) lives in the San Diego area and took the opportunity to show off his skills in front of scouts. Foster ran a 4.73 and 4.69 in the 40-yard dash, 4.53 in in the short shuttle and 7.09 in the three-cone drill. He also posted a 32-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot, 7-inch broad jump.

University of San Diego WR John Matthews (5-11 3/4, 200) ran a 4.52 and 4.54 in the 40-yard dash and recorded a 32-inch vertical jump.

Linebacker Russell Allen has been getting some looks and could see himself drafted mid-day on the second day of the draft. Arian Foster should get the same stock treatment as well despite not being an Aztec, the remainder will likely be UDFA.
