The Chicago Bears are meeting with Oregon State running back Ryan Nall today, this according to NBC Sports’ NFL Draft Writer Josh Norris.
Nall measured at 6’2”, 232 pounds at the NFL Combine, and he may be a candidate to transition to either full back or H-back in the NFL. He did play a little H-back in college, so a position change wouldn’t be that difficult. With the Beavers he rushed for 2,216 yards (5.8 ypc) with 24 touchdowns, and he caught 56 balls for 563 yards, with 4 TDs.
His teams were a combined 7-29 during his three years playing at Oregon State.
Nall is also reported to have spoken with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings.
Hall’s versatility could fit with what the Bears are looking to do with their offense if given the time to develop, but keep in mind he’s likely a late round or UDFA prospect.
Back in March our own Jacob Infante reported that Nall met with a number of teams at the NFL Combine, including two of the Bears’ division rivals.
Oregon State RB Ryan Nall has been a hot commodity at the #NFLCombine: I’m being told that he met with 21 of the 32 teams today, with the most interest coming from the #Lions and the #Vikings.
