Breece Hall could have a huge 2026 season for the New York Jets.
The New York Jets plan to feature Breece Hall more prominently as their lead back this season, according to Connor Hughes of SNY.
Hall finished the 2025 season with 1,065 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 36 receptions, 350 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
"The Jets gave Breece Hall a contract extension this offseason, and it looks like they plan on featuring him more prominently as their lead back this season," Hughes wrote. "Aaron Glenn, going into his first season, made it a point to stress a backfield committee, implying a near-even split between Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. The latter two won’t be uninvolved, but it’s clear the focus is Hall… then Allen… then Davis.
"Pretty crazy heel turn. Had Allen not suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Dolphins, there’s a very real chance the Jets trade Hall at the deadline. Hall has looked good this summer."
A talented playmaker, Hall has 18 rushing touchdowns and nine receiving touchdowns with the Jets, who signed him to a three-year $45.75 million extension in May.
Hall enters this season with 3,398 rushing yards and 1,642 receiving yards in his career. Now that Hall has financial security, he can focus on football and do everything he can to help turn the Jets organization around.
"Everyone knows that we're here for the long haul and we're willing to deal with the good, the bad, the ugly, but also the positives, too," Hall said. "So I think, for me and G [Garrett Wilson], it's like we want to show who we are and what we can do on a consistent basis so bad, and we feel like we're finally getting into a position and our coaches are putting us into position to where we can really just take that stress cap off and just be ourselves."
The Jets went just 3-14 last season. They became the first team in NFL history to not record a defensive interception and lose five straight games by 23 or more points within a single season.
Hall will receive handoffs and catch passes from Geno Smith in 2026. The Jets acquired Smith from the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Jets open the 2026 season against the Tennessee Titans. Let's see if Hall can reach the end zone against Jeffery Simmons and Co.
