The Minnesota Vikings, facing an offseason filled with challenges, have added a new weapon to their offense in hopes of a strong 2024 season.
The team announced the signing of wide receiver Justin Hall, a 25-year-old who went undrafted in 2022 but impressed during his time with the Las Vegas Raiders’ training camp. Hall will be competing for a roster spot after the Vikings waived punter Seth Vernon and receiver Ty James to make room.
While not a typical NFL receiver at 5-foot-9, Hall was a dynamic force in college at Ball State. Capable of lining up both outside and in the backfield, he presented a dual threat with his elusiveness and ability to break tackles near the end zone.
Despite his smaller size, Hall believes his skills translate to the professional level. He excelled during the pre-draft process and throughout his college career, amassing 3,385 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns in five seasons. While injuries sidelined him for a few games, including Ball State’s bowl appearances, Hall emphasizes a focus on injury prevention moving forward.
The Vikings, led by quarterback Sam Darnold in 2024, will be looking to see if Hall can develop into a valuable contributor.
