While at Wisconsin, Hall played and won three bowl games. He signed as a rookie free agent to the New York Jets in 1997. During his time with the Jets, Hall established himself as one of the hardest hitting kickers in the NFL, once injuring a player on a kickoff tackle. Hall gave the Jets victory in The Monday Night Miracle in 2000 against the Dolphins with a field goal in overtime. Hall was troubled by a groin injury for the 2004 season and only appeared in eight games. Before being signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins in 2003, he played six seasons for the New York Jets. His most accurate season came in 2005, when he converted 12 of 14 field goals for an 85.7% success rate, although his season long was only from 45 yards out. He also missed a crucial field goal, well within his range, in the Redskins' divisional playoff defeat against the Seattle Seahawks.
