Vikings Sign Houston Roughnecks WR Justin Hall
It took a few days after having his UFL contract terminated, but Houston Roughnecks WR Justin Hall has now officially signed with the Minnesota Vikings.
Justin Hall has consistently been one of the most electrifying wide receivers in all of spring football the last couple of years. He joined the Houston Gamblers for the 2023 USFL season, recording 513 receiving yards and four touchdowns that year. Hall led the Gamblers in both of those categories.
When the Gamblers transitioned into the Houston Roughnecks, Hall made the jump with Coach C.J. Johnson and his squad. Justin once again was a force to be reckoned with, even with this strange low usage rate to begin the year.
Justin Hall ended up leading the team in receiving yards once again, with 604. Despite dealing with three different quarterbacks this year, he was as productive as could be. He shockingly wasn’t even an All-UFL nominee, despite being 3rd in the UFL in receiving yards. Justin also had three touchdowns on the year.
Now, Hall is getting a well deserved NFL opportunity with the Minnesota Vikings. He’s got NFL caliber playmaking abilities, and hopefully will be given the opportunity to prove himself before preseason comes to a close.
The Vikings have already targeted some spring league athletes, signing DT Jalen Redmond and QB Matt Corral.
Without the national platform that the UFL provided Hall with, who knows if this opportunity would have been possible. You can stay up to date with all UFL to NFL signings with our official tracker.
