The Houston Cougars had a very impressive 2021 season. Coach Dana Holgersen’s Cougars finished 12-2, including a bowl win over Auburn. They did so thanks to several budding NFL draft prospects.
The Detroit Lions checked out those draft prospects at Houston’s pro day recently. Longtime long snapper turned special assistant Don Muhlbach and area scout Patrick Mularkey were on hand for the workouts. They got to see a few draft-worthy defensive prospects.
Logan Hall, EDGE – Hall emerged as a Day 2 prospect with a strong 2021, notching 6.5 sacks and 13.5 TFLs while playing tackle. At 6-foot-6 and 285 pounds, he’s got the length and strength to fill the strongside DE role in coordinator Aaron Glenn’s new-look defense in Detroit. But Hall can also play inside and create problems for blockers in the run game. He’s fast off the snap and plays with violent hands and a kneecap-biting motor and intensity.
