Report: Former Mizzou WR Emanuel Hall finds new NFL home after being waived by Bears
One of the bigger surprises of the 2019 NFL Draft was that former Mizzou WR Emanuel Hall ended up going undrafted.
After the draft concluded, he quickly signed with the Chicago Bears, but he was waived by them earlier this week.
It didn’t take long for him to land a new job, though, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reportedly signed him to a new deal on Wednesday, per ESPN’s Field Yates:
The Buccaneers claimed former Bears WR Emanuel Hall off of waivers, per source.

Hall had 2,016 yards and 16 touchdowns in his Mizzou career, but did have trouble staying healthy.
However, his talent level is undeniable when he’s on the field, as he and QB Drew Lock had quite a connection the past couple of years.
Hall seemed to confirm the news on Twitter:
Go Bucs 👍

Congratulations, Mr. Hall!
He had issues catching anything that wasn’t a 40 yard over the shoulder bomb. Glad he got picked up in Tampa Bay, need to make the most of it!
He is a rare speed merchant. With the right OC and QB he will shock some NFL fans in 2019. Caution however, defensive back will be faster in the NFL so Hall with need to be smarter and use better timing. Not to worry because most of his NFL receiver team mates will take heat off him by also being faster.
They’ll smack him off the line and slow him down considerably. But if they miss well, TD.
