Deck the Halls, we signed our Number 1
Monday, July 30, 2007
The Cincinnati Bengals signed first-round draft pick Leon Hall to a five-year deal Saturday, that guarantees him $8.2 million and could be worth $13.6 million.
"Leon is very excited to have this finished and to get on with camp," agent Doug Hendrickson said. "He never wanted to miss any time at all, but he knew the business part had to be handled."
Hall wanted to wrap up a deal quickly.
"I didn't think it was going to go past today, so I wasn't too worried too much," Hall said. "Personally, I wasn't paying too much attention to it, but sometimes people would text me or my agent would call me to let me know the updates."
Hall, who was taken 18th overall, set a Michigan record for passes defensed (43) and tied for fourth in career interceptions (12).

My friend was a DB coach at Michigan the last two years. He's alway said that Hall is a fantastic person as well as a player.
We need some of that. Michigan players are almost always quality people. Hard for me to say that being a diehard Buckeye fand, but I have to tip my hat.
Agreed, something strange happens when people leave Michigan, they become cooler people.
Go Bucks.
