Breece Hall is one of the key players the Jets are counting on to carry them to success this season. But who is Breece Hall counting on to help him?
He named four when asked what excited about the offense, saying that they should allow the Jets to find “explosive plays”… and interestingly enough none of them are Geno Smith, Garrett Wilson, or even himself.
“AD Mitchell, Kenyon Sadiq, Mason Taylor, Braelon Allen,” Hall said. “Those are the four. If we get those guys rolling I think the offense is going to be really good.”
Mitchell is in his first training camp with the Jets having arrived in the midseason trade that sent Sauce Gardner to the Colts last year. Sadiq is a play-making rookie tight end the Jets selected in the first round in April (he missed most of the spring after undergoing hernia surgery but is expected to be ready for this training camp). Taylor is a second-year tight end who head coach Aaron Glenn also pegged early in the offseason as a guy he expects to make a huge jump. And Allen is a fellow running back with Hall who is coming back from knee surgery.
Of course having Geno and Garrett and Breece producing at full tilt will help, too, but it was interesting that Hall tapped some unexpected names as the most critical components to this season. It leans into the whole “under the radar” vibe the Jets have been enjoying and embracing.
“This is a year for us not only having guys with names but having a team around us with organizational stability,” Hall said. “It feels like we have our people here.”
