The Bengals drafted Hall with the 18th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. A savvy, versatile cover man who roamed almost invisibly between the outside and the slot, Hall played in 121 games, most by a Bengals cornerback in this century and third all-time despite missing 23 games with a pair of torn Achilles. His 26 interceptions hold the same positions in the record book during a run that saw him named consensus co-team MVP with cornerback Johnathan Joseph in the 2009 AFC North sweep generated by the NFL's fourth-ranked defense. That's the year he had 24 passes defensed to go with six picks after a season he led the NFL with 24 passes defensed.
From 2007-2012, Hall defended 90 passes, the third best in league. Over his nine years with the Bengals (2007-2015), Hall helped Cincinnati win three AFC North titles and have six defenses ranked in the top 12.
In the game to go to the 2012 playoffs, he scored the Bengals only touchdown on a 17-yard pick-six in the 13-10 win in Pittsburgh. Two weeks later in Wild Card Game in Houston, his 21-yard pick-six put them on the board.
