New York Jets running back Breece Hall is entering a career-defining 2025 season with Aaron Glenn and Tanner Engstrand.
Playing on the final year of his rookie deal, Hall's future in the Big Apple is murky at best, with his name being thrown up all offseason as a trade possibility, and Glenn already stating he wants to use three backs in Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis in the offense.
That's not ideal for a player looking to earn a new contract.
And this isn't ideal either.
Jets X-Factor’s Michael Nania suggests that while Hall might be the bellcow back, splitting the carries with Allen and Davis might be how the offense operates.
“One potential plan for the Jets could work as follows: On every other drive, they give Hall a rest, rotating between Allen and Davis on the non-Hall drives,” Nania wrote.
“Their downhill running styles are ideal for keeping the Jets on schedule with positive gains while Hall sits, allowing him to keep his legs fresh and come back in with the energy to unleash home runs."
Having never surpassed the classic 1,000 yards in a single season, Hall, we suspect, will need to do that in 2025 to warrant Glenn and the coaching staff thinking about keeping him beyond this season.
That will be tough if snaps are divided up between three players.
But that feels like the way it will go under Engstrand, who wants to use a Detroit Lions-like style that has multiple backs being used.
Hall wants a new contract and to show the NFL world he can be the dominant force he knows he can be, but this latest "plan" is going to make achieving that awfully tough.
