5 Las Vegas Raiders who are on the hot seat entering the 2020 season
By Evan Groat
P.J. Hall
One of the major factors that hurts P.J. Hall is that he was selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and in his first two years as a Raider, he has played more like a late round pick. Where he was selected is out of his hands, but when a team invests a premium pick on you, you are expected to make an impact.
One and half sacks, eight tackles for loss, and two pass deflections in 30 games is not exactly impact numbers. As he enters his third season in the league, we have seen small samples of him being a productive player at the NFL level, but those moments have been few and far between.
Hall was highly-productive in college, but we have yet to see it translate to the pro level. With the addition of Maliek Collins to the mix, it only makes things more challenging for Hall.
Hall’s roster spot for 2020 could be in serious jeopardy and it could come down to a numbers game for him. Remember, the Raiders not only have Collins, but also guys like Maurice Hurst, who we will discuss in a minute, and Johnathan Hankins, who played very well for the Silver and Black last season.
