The St. Louis Rams have acquired Dante Hall from the Kansas City Chiefs for a 5th round draft pick this weekend.  This was a great acquisition by the Rams as they have filled a big team need for a second day draft pick.  Hall played in 15 games last season for the Chiefs and he caught 26 passes for 204 yards (7.8 avg) with 2 TD catches.  Hall also can run the ball on the trick plays as he carried the football 3 times for 11 yards (3.7 ypc).  But the main reason the Rams trade for him is his kick return ability.  Hall returned 53 kickoffs for 1,207 yards (22.8 avg) and he returned 27 punts for 240 yards (8.9 avg) with a TD.  Over his 7 year career, Hall has played in 97 games and he’s caught 145 passes for 1,615 yards (11.1 avg) with 9 TD grabs.  He’s also carried the football 47 times for 215 yards (4.6 ypc).  But most of the money he has earned is because of his kick returns.  Hall has returned 360 kickoffs for 8,644 yards (24.0 avg) with 6 TD returns and he’s returned 188 punts for 1,882 yards (10.0 avg) with 5 TD returns.  Look for Hall to have an excellent season returning kicks on the Rams fast turf.
