Had a great career no accolades other than all-WAC but one of the better pros to come out of BYU...Hunter the big OT comes to mind as well

Is Travis Hall the most underrated BYU player in the last 25 years?

It's very possible, he played 11 years in the NFL retired only 9 years ago...

Solid NFL career. Played DT IN THE NFL, which isn't a super sexy position

I don't think he was an OLB...

He was DE, played around 255-260 lbs if I remember correctly. Bulked up in NFL.

Yep; BigYfan's post brings up an interesting comparison, though

Maybe by some stiffs, but some fans have love DS9 long tim.

Shimmy

Not by BYU fans, BYU fans know very well who he is and appreciate how good...

Brett Keisel? Most fans don't know him either.

Haha not true, everyone knows who he is.

He played on a high profile team

Maybe you might have a case for Scott Hoke

8theU

8/27/14 11:03am

His name is Chris Hoke, not Scott.

He proved his own point!

I was an athlete and trainer at BYU when Hall was there. Obvious NFL body.

Per BYU Roster: 56 Travis Hall 6-6 245

Because they never lie on official rosters

CoopDizz

Usually they inflate the numbers, not deflate them

BlueBlitzkrieg

I did; I just thought it was flimsy to refer to the roster . . .

You may be right, but unheralded might be a better word.
