National Football League Career

In his first season he had two interceptions, making him the youngest ever to record an interception, despite missing six games due to injury.^{[citation needed]}

Perhaps adding to his status as one of the NFL's most talented young players, one of Hall's finest moments came when he was assigned to one of the NFL's premier wide receivers, Terrell Owens of the Philadelphia Eagles, on Monday Night Football. Although Owens gained 112 receiving yards, Hall was able to stop Owens on many of the Eagles' third down attempts, and his tight coverage of Owens on the last Eagle possession of the game helped Atlanta clinch a 14-10 victory on September 12, 2005. Hall allowed 3 catches on 9 pass attempts towards Owens when playing man-to-man. The next time they met, Hall was beat by Owens for two touchdowns in December 2006. However, one of the touchdowns was a result of Hall playing zone coverage. He played the game with a sore left foot.

Hall performed well during the 2005-2006 season, especially in prime time games. In the four prime time games he has played, he has had three interceptions, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.

During a Monday Night Football game in 2005, after an interception, Hall held up a sign that read, "Aloha, see you in Hawaii", obviously making a case for a Pro Bowl bid. In 2005, Hall was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. While at the 2005 Pro Bowl, Hall was the winner of the "NFL's Fastest Man Competition", a contest with the fastest players in the NFL. The significance of that competition is Hall was not scheduled to compete but an onlooker said that Hall was scared. In response to the onlooker, Hall began warming up and appeared at the starting line and beat the competition. He also during the game ran back an interception lateral from pro bowl safety Roy Williams to give his offense great field position. On a personal note, Hall is close friends with many elite receivers in the NFL, including the Panthers' Steve Smith and the Bengals' Chad Johnson. On an appearance on the NFL Network, Johnson and Hall made a wager on their upcoming 2006 matchup: should Johnson catch two touchdown passes, Hall would be obligated to wait tables at an Atlanta restaurant owned by Bengals tackle Willie Anderson. Should Johnson fail, he would be forced to shave the bleach-blonde mohawk he had grown over the off-season. After the game was over (which the Falcons won) it was accepted that Hall was the "winner," as Johnson only caught one TD pass. Johnson honorably held up his end of the bargain and shaved his mohawk. Ironically, a few games after, Chad broke records for receiving in a three game span while also hauling in five touchdown catches. Hall on the other hand, failed to add to his four interceptions. In preseason 2007, Hall shaved "I own 85" into the back of his head in reference to his ongoing rivalry with Johnson. Johnson had the last laugh however, breezing past Hall on occasions and making five catches for more than 80 yards and a TD.

Trade rumours 2007

Atlanta Falcons team officials denied an Internet report that said cornerback DeAngelo Hall requested to be traded. The Falcon team officials, said that Hall did not ask or demand to be traded. This all came of the back of a week 3 performance against the Carolina Panthers in which Hall and Veteran Wide Out Steve Smith got into a physical confrontation in which Hall got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and many believed this cost Atlanta the game, as well as his sideline argument with head coach Bobby Petrino. Despite everything that happened involving Hall, including his admission that he and some members of the coaching staff don't have a great relationship, Falcons Officials believe Hall is playing well and he gives them the best chance to win.
