Hall bounced back in 2023 after he suffered a season-ending injury in his rookie year. He played in all 17 games for the Jets, racking up 994 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. He also had 76 catches for 591 yards and four touchdowns, showing just how valuable he is on offense.
While the Jets had a tough season, Hall was one of the few bright spots to shine.
