Here is what stat guru KC Joyner (The Football Scientist; he watches every pass play of every game!)said about him before this season:

"Overrated Cornerbacks:

DeAngelo Hall

This is the second consecutive season Hall makes this list. He receives this honor because he once again made the Pro Bowl, despite posting simply abysmal metrics.

His 9.2 YPA (yards given up per pass attempt thrown his way) ranked 76th among cornerbacks.

Hall's 47.1 success percentage (incompletions on passes thrown his way) was solid (31st in the league), but his 17.9 missed pass percentage (Inaccurate, due to QB, or dropped passes, due to WR, that cause an incompletion.

Missed passes are used to measure how lucky a cornerback was in coverage.) was one of the highest in the league.

That means a large percentage of Hall's success was due to luck.

His supporters would point out that many of the big plays he allowed were due in part to not getting good help from the Falcons' safeties.

That might be the case, but Hall's overall YPA was still only .8 yards better than Jason Webster's figure (his teammate).

Furthermore, Charles Woodson had just as little help from the Packers' mediocre safeties and still put up great metrics."
