Dallas Cowboys Rising Star Kemon Hall's Journey to the NFL

Dallas Cowboys Cornerback Kemon Hall's Inspiring Journey

LAS VEGAS — There’s a solid chance you didn’t plan on being thumped on the forehead by kismet while watching what Kemon Hall was able to do for the Dallas Cowboys against the Las Vegas Raiders, by way of a pick-six, but that’s exactly what happened.

Highlight Play Against Raiders

Hall's reaction to the highlight of the day: a 69-yard interception return against quarterback Aidan O’Connell atop the fourth quarter at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday.

“It felt great, just being in the right place at the right time, reading my keys and the quarterback taking me the ball,” said the 27-year-old cornerback. “That feeling of going down the field, it’s like you’re in a tunnel, man. It took me back to college, because I hadn’t had a pick-six since college.”

The Journey to the Dallas Cowboys

Claimed by the Cowboys off of the waiver wire early in camp following his release from the San Francisco 49ers, Hall has gone through an incredible journey, including time with the Chargers and Vikings. He understands that every single rep matters.

“I’ve worked so hard to stay in the mix,” he said of his career. “And every opportunity that’s come around, I try my best to capitalize on it, and I’m grateful for that.”

The Impact of Training and Mentorship

Hall credits his success to a mindset focused on the ball, influenced by assistant coach Al Harris. “He said if you’re not touching the ball, you’re not doing something right,” Hall explained.

Now, with a chance to imprint his legacy further, Hall aims to impress in the upcoming preseason finale against the Chargers, eager to show them they made a mistake in letting him go. It's kismet at its most cosmic level.
