One year ago, Jets running back Breece Hall suffered a torn ACL against the Broncos in Week 7 of his rookie season at Empower Field at Mile High.
On Monday, the star talent reflected upon the injury on X, formerly known as Twitter. However, Hall's tweet sent Jets fans, fantasy football managers, and members of the media into a brief state of panic.
“Found out I Tore My ACL a year ago today. Look at God man🤞🏾 Answered all my prayers and then some🙏🏾,” posted Hall.
However, many focused on the first several words Hall used, “Found out I Tore My ACL,” momentarily making fans aghast.

The 2022 second-round pick has returned from the injury faster than many expected, gaining 426 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 66 carries. Hall has surprised many around the league with the return of his burst which has resulted in the former Iowa State standout leading all running backs with an eye-opening 6.5 yards per carry.
Despite the Jets opting to ease Hall back into the offense via a snap count through seven games, Hall is still on pace for over 1,000 yards this season.
