Former BYUfootball quarterback Jaren Hall passed a test during the pre-draft process that led the Vikings to take the QB in the fifth round.

Sholiton had purposefully picked the clips where he knew BYU’s receivers had run the wrong route and Hall’s incompletion was a byproduct of his teammates’ mistake.
Impressed by the answer, Sholiton changed topics later in the meeting to put Hall through another test. He asked Hall about his ability to change plays and make pre-snap line checks. Some players, in Sholiton’s experience, tend to lie and say they can do it — thinking it will make them look good. Sholiton largely knew that BYU’s offense never asked Hall to make those pre-snap decisions and wanted to see which way he would go.
“With our staff of experts, they have a radar for [when people are lying],” Sholiton said. “Jaren never tried to pull that off. Just the fact that he was authentic and genuine” was impressive.. But it was those two stories that stuck with him as the Vikings drafted the potential backup to Kirk Cousins.
