Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Travis Hunter

Saturday, July 26, 3:12 PM

After a lackluster campaign in 2024, New York Jets running back Breece Hall has his eyes set on proving his worth ahead of the 2025 season. The Iowa State product told reporters on Saturday that he has a chip on his shoulder and feels that it's his "last chance" to demonstrate his abilities. "We got a new head coach (Aaron Glenn), new GM (Darren Mougey)," said Hall. "Obviously, I wasn't drafted by them, I'm not their guy. So for me, like I said, I've got to prove it every day." The talk of a running back-by-committee has been loud this offseason, but the 24-year-old isn't letting that deter him from vying for a workhorse role. Hall has the talent to do so, and could be in store for a bounce-back season with quarterback Justin Fields (toe) at the helm. The added threat of Fields in the running game would benefit the fourth-year pro. However, his new signal-caller will need to get past his recent toe injury. Hall is a strong pick as a high-upside RB2.

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter caught his first touchdown of training camp, a 5-yarder from Trevor Lawrence, as part of a successful practice at wide receiver on Tuesday. He took 24 snaps, his most in a single practice on offense so far, and "showed his considerable skills" as a receiver, according to Garry Smits of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union. Hunter, who won the Heisman Trophy at Colorado last season, entered the NFL as the second overall pick in this year's draft and will attempt to play both receiver and cornerback with the Jags. The 22-year-old hasn't manned both positions in one practice yet, but head coach Liam Coen has indicated that should change soon. At receiver, Hunter has the talent to serve as an excellent complement to Jaguars No. 1 Brian Thomas Jr. The question is how much playing time he'll get at the position during games. So far in camp, Hunter has tallied 79 snaps on offense and 47 on defense.
