New York Jets running back Breece Hall is under no illusions as to what is on the line for him in 2025.
Entering a contract year with a new regime, Breece, who was once the bellcow for the offense, will be splitting carries with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis.
That isn't ideal.
But for Hall, he needs to separate himself from that duo and emerge as the star back we want him to be. He knows what is at stake, and now is the time for the running back to make good on his potential as a star of the league.
And for Pro Football Focus, Breece faces a make-or-break season.
"Hall has been the subject of criticism and trade rumors this offseason," Pro Football Focus writes. "Head coach Aaron Glenn recently shot the latter down, but Hall still needs a bounce-back campaign to secure a long-term future in New York.
"There is a chance that he is a dynamic playmaker in a new offense, but there may be an equal chance that 2025 is his last season in New York."
Hall saw his name thrown up as a trade target this offseason, but he will be a Jet in 2025. Still, he has to show he can be "the" guy for Tanner Engstrand.
To do that, he must show in training camp that there is only one answer to the Jets' run game question. He's off to a solid start under Glenn, but the real proof will be when training camp rolls around.
Breece has all the potential in the world, but even he said during minicamp, the time has come for that potential to manifest itself into something tangible.
Because in a contract year, Hall needs to show out, otherwise his NFL career might continue in 2026 with another team.
