Grant Paulsen reports that the Redskins interviewed DeAngelo Hall for their DBs coaching job. According to Paulsen, Hall “thoroughly impressed” Washington and was “legitimately considered” for the job before they hired Ray Horton.
Hall confirmed to Paulsen that he interviewed with the Redskins on Tuesday and has also spoken with the University of Maryland about a possible position.
Hall retired from the NFL before the 2018 season.
Hall, 35, is a former first-round pick of the Falcons back in 2004. He spent four years in Atlanta before he was traded to the Raiders in 2008.
The Raiders signed Hall to a big-money contract only to cut him loose later that season. Hall signed on with the Redskins soon after and would go on to play 10 seasons for Washington.
For his career, Hall recorded 636 tackles, two sacks, 11 forced fumbles, 15 recoveries, 43 interceptions, 140 pass defenses and 10 defensive touchdowns over the course of 14 seasons and 171 games played. He was a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
