Returning from injury, he's ready to be RB1.
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to return against the Kansas City Chiefs, a big boost for a team looking to get as much talent back as possible after struggling over the past few weeks. The Jets have been among the most disappointing teams in the NFL recently, something that doesn't necessarily come as much of a surprise at the end of the day.
This Jets team was expected to be a lot better than it has been over the past couple of years, but it doesn't look like that's really going to be the case. Whether that's because of the injuries they've dealt with, not having enough talent, or anything in between, this has been a season to forget once again for New York.
In terms of what Hall is going to bring to the team, there's an argument to be made that he's not even going to get the most touches for a running back during this game against the Chiefs.
He hasn't appeared in a game since the end of September against the Detroit Lions, and Braelon Allen has looked absolutely excellent in his absence. There have been some questions about whether Allen should be the full-time starter, and for a guy like Hall, it's impossible not to hear that noise. ‘

The Jets extended him on a somewhat lucrative deal during the offseason, and with Allen outperforming him, some fans believe that trading Hall right now would make a lot of sense.
Speaking to reporters about everything that's gone on over the past few weeks and whether Allen deserves to be the starter, Hall stated that he's still a great running back in this league, still a starter, and while Allen has been playing well, he's just looking forward to going out and playing football. He also talked about why he decided to get off social media this week, as fans were taking things a bit too far.
"I'm still a starter, still a very good running back in this league," Hall said, per Nick Faria. "Obviously, Braelon's been playing good. I think him and the offense have caught their stride after the first three, four games. So it's going to be good to just get in there, just play some ball."
"I've had people threatening me and my family on social media," Hall said. "So that's not something that's good for your mental health that you should be looking at. So I'm just like, all right, if people think it's that serious, if you're willing to go that low, then it's like nothing that I need to look at."
Sticking specifically to the social media aspect, it felt like a call Hall might have had to make.
However, it's also very understandable that he decided to get off social media because of people sending him threats. I get that Jets fans have been frustrated, but making threats to a player is never the answer. People who do things like this shouldn't be considered real fans, as there's far more they have to worry about than whether the Jets win a game or lose a game if this is what they're deciding to do.
