Hall was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round (38th overall) of the 1987 NFL Draft—following the Steelers' pick of Rod Woodson (CB) in the first round.[1][2] In his rookie year, he became an instant starter at cornerback, intercepting three passes on the way to earning Steelers' "Rookie of the Year" honors and the nickname "Beltin' Delton" from fans of the team.[3]

Hall also was a standout in track and field setting the North Carolina state 400 meters record at the NCHSAA Track Championships held at North Rowan High School in 1983. His time of 46.41 (electronic timing) remains the second fastest ever recorded by an NC high schooler.
