"Either go out there and be the best or don't... I have all the potential to and I have the team around me to do it, so there are no excuses." Breece Hall NY Jets Running Back Kicking off our 2024 NFL Training Camp tour in partnership with Fanatics, we head to Florham Park, NJ to visit with the New York Jets, catch a little of the first practice and Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with the man who league executives ranked the #2 running back heading into 2024 season, Breece Hall. After a challenging 2023 season for New York, The Jets, with Aaron Rodgers back in the driver's seat, are aiming to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Breece Hall is all fired up on their chances and believes this year is the one for the Jets as confidence remains high and the belief in his teammates even higher. He tells the Pivot all about the added pieces to the Jets roster and why the energy in the building is at a different level with a competitive focus on and off the field which he attributes to his belief that the team is destined to reach the AFC championship this season. Beyond the changes and improvements on his team, Hall has not had an easy journey over the past year, and he confides in the Pivot about the peaks and valleys of last season, coming back from injury and battling through the hardships his team faced. Storying his football journey from a midwest school to slipping in the 2022 draft to suffering a brutal ACL injury to his bond with stars Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner who were all drafted the same year and and admiration for QB legend Aaron Rodgers, Hall opens up with the guys on what really goes on behind the scenes and the authenticity of locker room relationships. Hall shares never-heard-before stories about current and former players that will fuel your football excitement and open you up to the player's perspective of what it's like to chase NFL dreams. From his close-knit family upbringing that shaped the man he is to his insight on his former college roommate, Brock Purdy, to his off the field experiences in a viral airport confrontation that caused NY Giants great Carl Banks to intervene, to his ranking of fellow NFL running backs, this episode is packed with what makes football great- the grit, the love and the will to always want to be respected but win.
