Paul Jeffery Hall (born July 30, 1976) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker for the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers,[1] and was selected in the sixth round of the 1999 NFL draft with the 181st overall pick by the Washington Redskins.[2] He played one season in the NFL for the Rams in 2000, appearing in three games.[3][4] After leaving the NFL, he became a NFLPA-registered financial advisor for Rather & Kittrell Capital Management in Knoxville, Tennessee.[5]
Hall still holds the Tennessee high school record for the longest field goal at 62 yards, which he kicked for Franklin County High School on November 19, 1991, in a playoff game against Oak Ridge High School. Hall tied his own record with a 62-yard field goal against Brentwood Academy on October 16, 1992.[6]
Hall was the starting placekicker for the Tennessee Volunteer football team that won the National Championship in the 1998 season.[7][8]
