The first thing you notice when you meet Derron Hall is his positive attitude and love for his family. I had the pleasure to talk with Hall at the 2015 Dream Bowl III. He’s a cornerback out of Virginia University of Lynchburg (VUL) trying to pursue his dream of playing professional football. Hall is a great athlete who quickly switched back to playing running back for his Dream Bowl coaching staff without hesitation. Not only did he change positions, but he excelled at running back, scoring both of his team’s rushing touchdowns. Derron, like most players in the lower divisions of football, faces an uphill battle in making his dream come true but he’s a smart, energetic player who has the right attitude to do it. Be sure to watch my interview with Hall:
