He played college football at Northwestern State.

Early life

Nall was born in Alexandria, Louisiana and he attended Alexandria Senior High School. There, he was quarterback for the football team and he threw for 5,038 yards and 38 touchdowns.

College

Nall played college football at Louisiana State University. He was redshirted in 1997. In 1998, he was the #2 quarterback behind senior Herb Tyler. When Tyler suffered an injury late in the game at Notre Dame, Nall came off of the bench to lead LSU the length of the field in a furious comeback attempt. The comeback came up short as an LSU receiver dropped the potential game winning pass in the end zone on fourth down as time was winding down. Nall then started the next week in the last game of the season at #13 Arkansas. Nall was sacked six times and threw for 147 yards and was intercepted once.

In 1999, Nall had to battle Josh Booty and Rohan Davey for the quarterback position. Nall was named the starter for the season opener but was benched at halftime with LSU leading. He was sacked once for 8 yards and he threw two interceptions in 15 attempts (completing 6 of 15 for 79 yards). Nall made only one other brief appearance at quarterback for LSU in 1999 as he got some late mopup duty the next week. Nall did not play quarterback for the rest of the season.;

In 2000, Nall only got two passing attempts in the season opener after a groin injury hampered him at the end of fall camp.;

In 2001, Nall transferred to Northwestern State University. There, he became the first quarterback in school history to surpass 2,000 yards passing in a season.;

NFL

He was drafted out of NSU by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2002 NFL Draft with the 164th choice overall. Nall also started for the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe in 2003 and was the league's leading passer. In 2004 Nall played in 5 games as Brett Favre's backup at Green Bay. He completed 23 of 33 passes for 314 yards and 4 touchdowns, with no interceptions, and a passer rating of 139.4. In 2006, Craig Nall signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Buffalo Bills, where he competed for the starting quarterback position until a hamstring injury suffered on the second day of practice ended his involvement in the competition. In 2007 Nall fell on the Buffalo Bills depth charter behind J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards. On September 1st, 2007 Craig Nall was cut from the Buffalo Bills final roster. On September 24, 2007 he was re-signed by the Bills. On October 19, 2007 the Bills released him. On October 29th, Nall was signed by the Houston Texans as insurance when starter Matt Schaub was hurt against San Diego.
