Breece
Hall

Hall's name surfaced repeatedly in discussions of potential breakout players for the 2025 season. The Jets have a ton of new pieces so it would make sense for them to look for production from the fourth-year back who has shown tremendous promise on multiple occasions as a runner and pass-catcher.

Breece blends size, speed and patience like few others. He presses the hole calmly, then explodes through daylight with long-strider burst. Hall runs with vision, power and catches like a receiver. Among the 27 players with at least 200 touches in 2024, he produced an explosive play on 9.4% of them, ranking seventh in the NFL.

Prove it Hall will. "I'm still the guy and still one of the best in the league," he said. "Go out there every weekend and prove that I deserve to be out there." The veteran back said that going into his fourth part in 2025, but it could apply to any season for any team. He's wired like that. To prove it.

With another year of experience under his belt and a new Jets system in place, Hall was well set up for an incredible 2025. One AFC exec noted that the playmaker, who was named honorable mention on ESPN.com's preseason top 10 NFL running backs poll, "has good lower-body balance and home run juice."

Breece does plenty of damage as a runner, but he adds to his overall worth with how he handles himself as a receiver. Hall caught 76 passes in 2023, one more than Saints star Alvin Kamara to be tops among running backs in the league. That included a 12-catch Christmas Eve performance against the Commanders, when he tallied 191 all-purpose yards.

For a new Jets coaching staff, Hall brings visions of plays to life. He's a home run threat via ground or air. "He's got impressive ball skills," running backs coach Tony Dews said heading into 2024. "He does a great job of catching the ball in all three zones — short, the screen game and intermediate."

Hall runs with vision, finishes with power and catches like a receiver. Among the 27 players with at least 200 touches in 2024, he produced an explosive play on 9.4% of them, ranking seventh in the NFL.

Even when the odds — and box — were stacked against him in 2023, Hall still found a way to make the best of it. The Jets running back ranked fifth in the NFL by averaging 4.3 yards per carry when defenses put eight defenders in the box. It takes a lot more than that to get the better of the running back.
