Breece Hall’s best season with the New York Jets is arguably his rookie year, when he played seven games and was then injured. He looked like a second-round steal then, possibly the running back that could lead the offense for many years to come. Of course, it might have helped if he had a decent offensive line, but he diminished in years two and three either way.
Part of the problem is that the Jets need Hall to be a well-rounded back who can run well and be a threat in the passing game. His issue is that he doesn’t catch the ball well. He did have 57 receptions in 2024, but he also dropped nine of his 76 targets.
Bumbling 11.8 percent of the balls thrown your way is no way to earn the trust of the coaching staff or quarterback.
Head coach Aaron Glenn has an interesting idea about how the Jets might use Breece Hall
Still, even behind a poor offensive line, Hall has averaged 4.6 yards per carry, and he has remained mostly healthy since being hurt in his first season. In the last two seasons, he has averaged 2.2 yards before contact, but 2.2 after first contact as well. He is getting his rushing yards often on his own, which might need to continue for the foreseeable future.
