Throughout the 1990s, Rod Woodson made a compelling case as the most complete cornerback of all time, if not the greatest.

Against those dropbacks, NFL defenses put four defensive backs on the field just 18% of the time (3,579 snaps), while nickel defense (with five defensive backs) ruled the league by far with 59% of all snaps (11,780).

In the 2019 NFL season, per Sports Info Solutions, there were 19,933 total quarterback dropbacks. Any guy that has a rule changes because of his play is worthy of an all-time mention. Maybe not in the top five, not a HOF guy, but certainly top ten slot guy. In 2012, Hall allowed just 19 receptions and 186 yards as a slot cornerback, which landed him as. Quite simply, Hall is one of the best overall cornerbacks in the league, slot distinction or not.
