The Jets backfield has plenty of potential but little certainty.

Let’s continue our position by position look at the Jets roster by taking a look at the running back position.

The Would Be Star

Breece Hall

It was less than three years ago that it seemed like the Jets had a budding superstar in their backfield. Rookie Breece Hall became the driving force on offense during a four game winning streak. During that four game stretch, Hall ran 59 times for 351 yards and 4 touchdowns. That would be a 5.9 yard average per carry and a 1,492 yard...

The Jets have some quality pass rushers, but who will take the lead role this season?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in New York Jets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

The Jets defensive line isn’t quite as deep as it was a few years back, but there are still a number of quality players. Three of them are former first round picks made in the last six years, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and...

It’s time to prepare for the time to prepare

The Jets are set to begin their training camp two weeks from today. Camp will last from July 25 through August 20 at the team’s practice facility in Florham Park, New Jersey.

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Good news on the injury front for the New York Jets. Jets slot cornerback Michael Carter II was playing injured virtually the entire season last year, and it showed. Prior to last year Carter was in the conversation for best slot cornerback in the NFL. Last year, playing injured, Carter exited that conversation and became a liability on defense. Now we get word Carter is completely recovered going into training camp. A return to form for Carter would be a big positive development for the...

The Jets have a new signal caller in 2025, and he’s trying to turn his career around.

Around this time every year I do a roster countdown with an individual article for each player. I have found that this approach frequently seems like a good idea when I start. Then training camp arrives, and suddenly there are a lot of other things to talk about.

With that in mind, I have decided to change the format this year. Instead of doing a season preview for each player, I am going to write a preview for each position group. We start...

Taking a look at a Jets linebacker prospect

The New York Jets recently signed former South Carolina State linebacker Aaron “Boog” Smith as an undrafted free agent. Today we break Smith down in detail.

The 22-year old Smith is listed at 6’2” and 230 pounds and was an all-MEAC first-team selection last season after racking up 95 tackles. He was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs.

Background

Smith was a two-star wide receiver prospect coming out of high school, but his first season at SC State was disrupted by the pandemic in 2020, as he made the transition to the...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets released their training camp practice schedule yesterday. Weather conditions and other contingencies may scramble things a bit, but for now the Jets have scheduled eight practices open to the general public, including a joint practice with the New York Giants. The release of the practice schedule brings home how close we are to finally seeing some Jets football after a long offseason. We’re now just 12 days away from the veterans reporting to camp. Even with somewhat modest expectations for the...

It’s no longer “Super Bowl or Bust”

The last two years it has been difficult to define success or failure for the New York Jets. The team entered the 2023 and 2024 seasons in “Super Bowl or bust” mode. The Jets gave up a lot to land Aaron Rodgers for a short window, borrowed resources from the future to try and improve in the present, and loaded up on big name veterans for a Super Bowl push. Obviously, none of that worked out very well.

This year things are a bit different. The Jets have gotten younger. They have a...

Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall are among the few bright spots.

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell ranked every NFL team’s running back, wide receiver, and tight end groups. Unsurprisingly the Jets ended up near the bottom of the list, finishing 27th.

Garrett Wilson continues to plug on. Justin Fields will become the ninth NFL quarterback to throw passes in Wilson’s direction, and without Davante Adams in the mix, the Jets’ passing attack will go as far as Wilson can take it. He has officially inherited the role played by a college predecessor in Terry McLaurin, who managed to top 1,000 yards...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! It probably comes as no surprise that the New York Jets offensive weapons are not in high regard among many analysts. A team with no credible receivers beyond Garrett Wilson and no credible tight ends beyond an unproven rookie in Taylor Mason will need a lot of surprises to the upside to even rank average-ish in the NFL. ESPN has the Jets non-QB offensive weapons ranked 27th in the NFL, just ahead of the Buffalo Bills. That seems in the right ballpark.

If the Jets...
