Breece Hall is poised to be the best player on the New York Jets roster this year. That is the prediction from NFL.com about the third-year running back.
And given the Jets‘ roster, it would be a big statement from Hall if he is the team’s top player.
Hall seems ready to take that next step and be an elite NFL running back. This week, an ESPN survey ranked Hall as the second-best running back in the NFL behind Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers.
Last season, Hall averaged a very impressive 4.5 yards per carry. He finished the season with 1,585 yards of total offense and nine total touchdowns (994 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns).
So to say Hall will be the MVP of the Jets
NFL.com’s Eric Edholm said he realizes that bypassing quarterback Aaron Rodgers, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, defensive lineman Quinnen Williams and cornerback Ahmad Gardner is a bold statement. But he believes the Jets running back can be just that good:
“Ultimately, Hall looked so good to me down the stretch after an up-and-down start to the season (some of which was clearly not his fault). In the Jets’ final three games, he ran for 357 yards and three TDs, caught 23 passes and another TD, and added a 2-point conversion for good measure. Now factor in Hall being another year removed from ACL surgery, and it’s not hard to see how he could be a massive part of this offense as a runner and receiver.”
