The NFL Is Back In 50 Days. Let's Remember Dante Hall Together

This morning, I found myself watching a montage of every Dante Hall return touchdown. If you have 4:52 of free time, I would highly recommend watching this video:

In a 13 game stretch that spanned from 2002-2003, Hall had 10 return touchdowns. This dude was a baaaaaaad man (Stephen A. voice). Oh, and he did this to Champ Bailey, a cornerback with 812 tackles in his Hall of Fame worthy career.

Talk about making a man miss in a phone booth.

Also, Hall was one of the greatest X-Factors of all-time in the video game NFL Street 2. I know that Madden 04 Michael Vick is widely considered the most dominant athlete in any sports video game, but when you got Dante Hall in to play wildcat quarterback, literally any play could go the distance. With Hall and Priest Holmes in your backfield, you only needed one play: the option.

I remember many days when I would come home from school, eat some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies coupled with Mountain Dew, and play NFL Street 2 with Dante Hall until it was my bedtime. Imagine these two guys barreling down the field, eating 12 yard chunks every snap.

This must have been what it feels like for a defense to try to guard Rob Gronkowski. A matchup nightmare in every facet of the game.

50 days until the Hall of Fame Game, get psyched.
