Ricardo Hallman
Wisconsin
Scouting Report

Hallman is a technically refined, undersized corner whose calling card is his fluid hips, smooth transitions, and genuine ball skills — his seven-interception 2023 season wasn't a fluke, it was the product of elite instincts at the catch point. He mirrors receivers with ease in both man and zone thanks to a controlled backpedal and quick feet, and QBs simply stopped throwing his way in 2024, targeting him just 35 times in 319 coverage snaps. The size limitation (5-10, 190) is real and caps his ceiling — bigger receivers can body him at the catch point, and his tackling technique remains a work in progress with too many diving attempts in the open field. He profiles best as a nickel defender at the next level, with the football IQ and competitive fire to carve out a long career as a quality slot corner, but the lack of length and physicality will keep him from being a true CB1.

Strengths
Weaknesses
Pro ComparisonAsante Samuel Jr.

Undersized but technically proficient corner with excellent ball skills, fluid movement, and scheme versatility. Both lack ideal size and can be overwhelmed physically, but compensate with instincts, competitive toughness, and the ability to play the ball in the air. Hallman's likely career arc mirrors Samuel's role as a nickel/outside CB2 who makes splash plays.
