Breece Hall received praise from two of the NFL’s other top running backs
While he was snubbed by the Pro Bowl, Breece Hall‘s peers know he is one of the best players in the league at his position.
At the Pro Bowl, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson put Hall at No. 1 on his list of top five running backs in the NFL. Hall returned the favor, putting Robinson at No. 1 (outside of himself).

Count the 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey as another fan of Hall’s game.
At Monday’s Super Bowl Media Day, the superstar running back had plenty of praise for the New York Jets’ versatile weapon.
“Breece is a stud, man. I think he’s another guy around the league who doesn’t get enough credit. Obviously, he has the speed to make any run go,” said McCaffrey.
“Once you get him going, he’s hard to stop. He breaks tackles, gets yards after contact, has patience and vision, and he can catch the ball, too. So, he’s a stud.”

Robinson and McCaffrey’s acknowledgments of Hall’s talent is the latest example of players around the NFL complimenting the star back. With the players continually recognizing the Jets’ running back, it is only a matter of time until the wider NFL world and general public does, too.
Hall, after tearing his ACL the year prior, had 1,585 all-purpose yards in 2023. This ranked fourth among all players and second among running backs behind only McCaffrey. He carried the Jets’ offense for weeks at a time and the team would not have won nearly as many games without him.
Hall is primed to take the next step on a team with a returning Aaron Rodgers. If he can continue his early career play, it will not be just McCaffrey and Robinson who see Breece Hall’s elite talent.
