Breece Hall has bold guarantees for 2024 season: ‘I will be an All Pro’

Breece Hall, the running back for Jets in the second year, has outlined his aspirations for the 2024 season. Even though he did not make the NFL Pro Bowl rosters for the game in Orlando this year, he declared confidently about his expectations for next year on social media on Wednesday night. The message read, “Forewarning for 2024: I will emerge as a Top RB. I shall be part of the Pro Bowl. I'm going to be an All Pro. And it will continue for many years after that." Even though the player will not be accompanying Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, major defensive stars, this year, he has managed a substantial comeback with a solid performance in 2023, following recovery from a torn ACL in 2022.

In the preceding two weeks, the 22-year-old has accumulated 179 rushing yards and achieved three total touchdowns with one through passes and two on the run. Even though he is projected to amass less than 1,000 rushing yards this season, he has led his team with 1,395 total yards from scrimmage (579 in receiving and 816 on the ground). He has established himself as a dual threat from the back field, with the second highest number of targets this season on the Jets team (93) second only to Garrett Wilson’s 163. Additionally, his eight total touchdowns, comprising of four each in rushing and receiving, are the team's highest.

Hall’s performance, especially following the ACL injuries, impressed Jets' coach, Robert Saleh. He told Brian Costello of The Post, “While I’d like to refrain from making any excuses for him, he has demonstrated enormous progress in not settling for less. It's important to understand that he is accepting what the defense offers and allowing his raw athletic ability to shine. He is successful in finding gaps and empty spaces to maneuver through and has done an admirable job in the preceding weeks. I am optimistic that he will continue to improve."

However, Hall was not alone among the Jets who appeared to be dissatisfied with this year’s Pro Bowl roster announcements. Linebacker Quincy Williams, who was excluded from the roster, posted on X, saying “2024: Leave No Doubt." Despite this season's impressive performance of 131 total tackles, two forced fumbles and two sacks, he will not be joining his brother Quinnen in the Pro Bowl event.
