The New York Jets had a highly lauded 2022 NFL Draft class. The Jets drafted a pair of standout offensive weapons in wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall.
Wilson is the class's leading receiver, with 3,249 yards under his belt, in spite of inconsistent and poor quarterback play. Meanwhile, Hall is the class's leader in scrimmage yards with 3,625, despite suffering a torn ACL in his seven-game rookie season.
The duo of 2022 draftees are teaming up with Wilson's former college teammate, quarterback Justin Fields, for 2025. The trio will serve as the Jets' "big three" offensively for the upcoming NFL season.
Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame compiled a ranking of every NFL team's "top offensive triplets" for 2025, and the Jets' trio of Hall, Wilson and Fields did not inspire much confidence for Verderame, being ranked at just No. 26.
"New York is starting over with Fields taking over under center." Verderame wrote. "He has some veteran faces as his top options in Hall and Wilson. Despite rancid quarterback play for much of his career, Wilson has been one of the league’s top receivers since entering the league three years ago, posting 101 catches, 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024. Hall is a quality player in his own right, rushing for 876 yards and five scores last season."
Verderame's main concern for the trio appears to be Fields, despite his 4-2 record as a starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. The Jets were ranked below trios such as the Denver Broncos' Bo Nix, RJ Harvey and Courtland Sutton, the New England Patriots' Drake Maye, Rhamondre Stevenson and Stefon Diggs, and the cross-town New York Giants' Russell Wilson, Tyrone Tracy and Malik Nabers.
The Jets will have the benefit of protecting this trio, more notably Fields and Hall, with one of the NFL's best offensive lines for the upcoming season. Hall's workload remains a question mark, but pairing Wilson with his collegiate quarterback could pay dividends, especially with Fields getting more time in the pocket than he has had his entire NFL career. The duo of Hall and Wilson should not raise concerns, although the rest of the skill players on offense may.
