There is no secret about how the New York Jets offense will roll in 2025 with Tanner Engstrand and Justin Fields.
They want to run the ball.
With a solid offensive line in front of Fields and a trio of running backs in Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis, New York has all the pieces to have a decent run game in 2025.
But decent is all they might get according to Pro Football Focus, which, when ranking all 32 teams' run games ahead of 2025, has the Jets at No. 17.
"The Jets’ running back unit appears to be at a crossroads with Breece Hall entering the final year of his rookie contract," Pro Football Focus writes. "Hall has flashed brilliance throughout his career but turned in a career-low 62.0 PFF overall grade last season due to issues with fumbles and drops.
"Braelon Allen showed some promise as a rookie, posting an 82.0 PFF rushing grade. Fellow rookie Isaiah Davis earned a 76.6 PFF rushing grade, though he took just 30 carries."
We get it.
Hall hasn't hit 1,000 yards in any of his three seasons, Allen is purely a backup at this point in Year 2, and Davis is largely an unknown commodity.
So we are purely projecting here, and with Hall in a contract year, despite the Jets stating they will use all three backs, Breece should be getting the majority of the carries.
As things stand, the Jets having a middle-of-the-pack run game feels about right, as they ranked 31st for yards per game last season (91.8). So until they prove they can consistently rack up yards, the jury will be out on the trio being anything other than a so-so group.
Despite the potential being obvious.
