Former BYU quarterback Jaren Hall was the 12th QB selected in this year's NFL draft, going to the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round.
BYU quarterback Jaren Hall, talks to the media after day 1 of BYU football Fall Camp, on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022.The two-year starter for the Cougars officially became the second-straight quarterback drafted from BYU, going No. 164 overall in the fifth round. He follows Zach Wilson, who was the No. 2 overall pick by the New York Jets in 2021.
“He has the potential to be a Brock Purdy-type guy,” ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said on the broadcast after Hall was drafted. Hall will join a quarterback room with veteran Kirk Cousins and Nick Mullens. Like Hall expected, he will transition to being a backup to start his NFL career.On the field, Hall continued what has become one of the more successful quarterback eras in BYU history. With Wilson, Hall and now Kedon Slovis, BYU has a realistic chance to produce three-straight draftable quarterbacks. That is something BYU has not done since the 1980s with Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young and Robbie Bosco.
