For the last four years, the New York Jets’ offense has run through two men: Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall.
Since 2022, Hall and Wilson have combined for 8,693 yards from scrimmage. That makes up an unfathomable 44.1% of the Jets’ 19,731 total yards of offense over that span.
With that type of production, it was a no-brainer for New York to give both players a chance to continue carrying the organization moving forward. After signing Garrett Wilson to a four-year, $130 million contract extension in 2025, the Jets proceeded to sign Hall to a three-year, $43.5 million contract in 2026.
One of those stars wants every fan, analyst, and critic to know that, as valuable as he has been to the Jets so far, his best campaign is “for sure” on the horizon.
“God willing and we stay healthy and everything goes as planned, I feel like this is going to be my best season for sure,” said Hall after signing his recent contract.
The clubhouse leader for Hall’s best season is up for debate. In terms of yards per carry (5.8) and scrimmage yards per game (97.3), it’s still his 2022 rookie season, although it was cut short after seven games.
In terms of total scrimmage yards, the title goes to Hall’s 2023 season, when he racked up 1,585 yards to finish second among running backs. Based on total rushing yards, though, Hall is coming off his best season in 2025, when he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in a 1,065-yard performance.
A career-best year from Hall in 2026 would likely feature an uptick in rushing efficiency and receiving volume. These are two areas where he can improve if the supporting cast around him is more favorable.
Since posting 5.8 yards per carry as a rookie, Hall has ranged from 4.2 to 4.5 over the last three seasons. With a quality offensive line in front of him, Hall has the capability to hit the 5.0 mark again, as long as defenses cannot stack the box to stop him on nearly every play that isn’t an obvious passing situation.
The Jets should also look to get Hall more involved in the passing game. In 2025, he averaged a career-best 7.3 yards per target and dropped a career-low 2.7% of his passes, but the Jets threw him a career-low 3.0 targets per game, a baffling choice given his production in that phase. His career average entering the year was 5.1.
With more efficiency in the run game and more involvement in the pass game, Hall could certainly eclipse the career-high 1,585 yards from scrimmage that he posted in 2023.
And it’s going to happen… at least, if we take Hall’s word for it.
