Alright! The NFL has announced that Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall has been voted to the 2010 Pro Bowl. Also, linebacker Brian Orakpo and fullback Mike Sellers have been voted as first alternates. Not to be denied, special teams standout and linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, tight end Chris Cooley and linebacker London Fletcher have all been chosen as second alternates.
Hall’s vote is no surprise with the year he’s had. Even though he’d been through somewhat of a highlight reel drought the last few games, Hall has made enough of an impact with the impressive coverage he has provided to get himself invited to the big party.
The former VA Tech Hokie’s biggest game in 2010 has to be the four interception game he played against the Chicago Bears in Week 7 – a game after which Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said he would not stop throwing in Hall’s direction despite the interceptions – where Hall was “in the zone.”
The cornerback, typically humble, was all about how well the defense played as a whole that day. Even more reason to send him on to Hawaii.
"It's not necessarily big for me, man, but it's big for this defense," said Hall, after the Chicago win. "You go out and look at the stats, man, we don't look too good on paper. But you watch us play live, man, we come out there and we're flying around. We're trying to hit guys. . . . I guarantee everybody that comes against our defense is definitely thinking twice about catching any balls, running any balls, running any routes, because we're going to try to bring it to them."
