Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.

Breece Hall called his 2024 campaign a down year, a frustrating season in which he took a significant amount of criticism.

Unlike fellow young Jets stars Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, he didn’t receive a contract extension from new general manager Darren Mougey.

All those factors have given him an edge for his fourth NFL season.

“I’ve been motivated since the whole offseason. If you ask guys around here, coaches, whatever the case may be, my motto is, ‘I’m trying to be one of the first guys in, one of the last guys out,’” Hall said after practice Friday, ahead of the regular-season opener against the Steelers on Sunday. “I’ve been motivated in practice every day, trying to show these coaches why I deserve to be here and show them who I really am.”
