Hall’s ACL tear in Week 7 was an infuriating injury in part because he was really hitting his stride right before it happened. He started somewhat slowly, failing to surpass 50 yards rushing in the first three games, but in hindsight that can mostly be blamed on the playcalling of since-fired offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. The Jets started feeding Hall more in Week 4, and he predictably took off almost immediately. He ran for 351 yards (6.0 YPC) and four touchdowns on the 59 carries preceding the injury, and all the while he was producing at a standout pace as a receiver. Hall was an excellent prospect last year as the 36th overall pick out of Iowa State, where he shouldered mammoth workloads and maintained standout efficiency both as a runner and receiver. Before the injury, Hall made clear he’s exactly as advertised as a prospect. The ACL is a setback but hopefully one Hall can shake early in the 2023 season — he hopes to be ready for Week 1. The other curveball is the Jets’ August signing of Dalvin Cook. If healthy, Hall is the lead back, but Cook figures to cut into his touches even as a depth option, especially early in the season when Hall’s snaps likely will be limited.
The consensus top running back in the 2022 draft class, Hall is built to be a starter in the NFL. He’s got the size to handle the punishment that comes with a big workload, the balance to keep going after initial contact and the vision and patience to take advantage of the holes his scheme and offensive line can create for him. He’s also got the speed to turn those holes into big plays, as Hall’s 4.39 40-yard time at the 2022 Combine was among the top marks at his position, backing up a prolific college career that included five touchdowns of 75 yards or more. At Iowa State he also showed a willingness to lower his pads and gain extra yards, a trait that should make him an effective goal-line option for the Jets after he was taken early in the second round as the first RB off the board. His experience as a pass catcher (82 catches in three seasons at ISU) is also a good sign, though 2021 fourth-round pick Michael Carter is the favorite to handle passing downs after his promising rookie season. There are some mild question marks about Hall’s elusiveness in traffic and the overall quality of the Jets offense, but Hall has all the physical tools to make an immediate impact.
