2026 NFL Draft scouting report: T.J. Hall, Cornerback, Iowa

It is never too early to begin watching prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Jason Licht has made the draft the key cog in the machine for the Bucs in terms of roster building and transforming the team itself.

We are going to be covering every position in the draft, but not all of them will be the Bucs' needs necessarily. But of course, anything is possible for a team, and if not, they will be drafted by a division rival that the Bucs see twice a year.

For this report, we will be discussing a cornerback. The Bucs invested in this position heavily in 2025, specifically in the draft, but roster decisions have this group up for grabs. The 2026 NFL Draft cornerback group is loaded, so they make sense to be targeted once again in some fashion.

With that in mind, here is our report on Iowa 's T.J. Hall.

Player Summary

T.J. Hall will have a very important week down in Mobile when he is at the Senior Bowl. He isn't the greatest cornerback prospect based on his skillset, but his flashes show that brilliance is possible. At the very least, he would be a lot of fun as a depth piece and on special teams, but the Senior Bowl could be a nice spot for him to showcase himself better. Hall has the vision and movement skills to stick with most wide receivers, but Iowa almost kept him in a box at times. As a result, his prospects are limited, but he has some tools for someone to mold.
