Unfortunately, some bad news has come out as Michael Hall Jr., the second-round pick by the Browns at 54th overall has been arrested. It appears to be a domestic dispute with his fiancee. This is what the team has said about the news…
“We are aware of the incident involving Mike Hall, Jr. last night. Mike and his representatives have been in touch with the appropriate authorities. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at the time.”
The Browns picked Hall with the idea that he could improve a defensive line that was already great (6th ranked by PFF). Of course, when Myles Garrett is attacking the quarterback, that certainly helps. This type of news however does not.
Hall will be arraigned in Avon Municipal Court sometime today.
Apparently, according to the report Hall’s fiancee called 911 on him. He pulled out a gun on her and damaged the home in which a baby was present. Via OBR.
CST will keep you posted in this situation moving forward. The team frankly does not need the distraction even before the season starts. Hall stands at 6’3, 300 pounds and is 21 years of age. He did play in the first preseason game against Green Bay recording a single tackle.
Now, the future is quite uncertain for this tackle. Hoping everyone involved is okay. The rest of the Browns squad cannot let this news serve as much of a distraction, that’s for sure.
