Hall talks Hall . . . and cousin Roger Craig's induction
Breece Hall said it was long overdue that his third cousin, Roger Craig, was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Craig, a three-time Super Bowl champion running back with the 49ers and the first player to have 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in a season, was part of the 2026 class that was enshrined Saturday.
“Obviously, he deserves it,” the Jets' running back said. “He's one of the best to ever play, one of the best three-down backs, one of the best receiving backs. A thousand-a thousand speaks for itself.
"I feel like he's waited long enough. I feel like he hasn't always got his flowers, but it's coming very soon. It should have already happened, but I grew up watching him, I grew up idolizing him so for me it’s a no-brainer.”
