Reports suggesting Hall could be forced into a three-player backfield this year have swirled for some time, but the Jets' pass-catching corps is extremely thin behind Garrett Wilson. Hall's career 1.56 yards per route run trails only Alvin Kamara's 1.71 (min. 100 targets) during that span. Although Hall could lose some work to Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, Hall would seem to have the strongest resume of the three on third downs. It seems likely that Hall mans the high-value passing-down role, and a top-15 workload could also be well within reach.

Reports suggesting Hall could be forced into a three-player backfield this year have swirled for some time, but the Jets' pass-catching corps is extremely thin behind Garrett Wilson. Hall's career 1.56 yards per route run trails only Alvin Kamara's 1.71 (min. 100 targets) during that span. Although Hall could lose some work to Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, removing Hall from the field would leave the Jets with just one proven receiving threat. It seems likely that Hall mans the high-value passing-down role, and a top-15 workload should also be well within reach.

Hall was understandably blunt with reporters, saying he isn't obligated anything but is going to prove he's the best back on the roster every day. The Jets have openly talked about using a committee throughout the offseason. Head coach Aaron Glenn previously told reporters the team had three backs they planned on utilizing "as much as possible." While Hall is clearly the top option in this backfield, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis could see more work in a combined bruiser role this year. Hall's home run potential should keep him in the RB1 mix, but a committee approach would limit his ceiling.
