Breece Hall didn’t just celebrate his own breakthrough season. He used it to put a spotlight on the guys up front who helped make it happen.
The freshly paid New York Jets running back said the team has “my two future $100M tackles right here” after posting a video on his Instagram story Tuesday from 1 Jets Drive. Hall was standing alongside Armand Membou and Olu Fashanu on one of the Jets’ practice fields when he added, “I just want y’all to see my two future $100M tackles right here - they’re the ones that make me look good.”
Hall had the best rushing season of his NFL career in 2025, topping 1,000 rushing yards for the first time. He pointed directly to the offensive line, and especially the two young tackles, as a big reason the season came together the way it did.
Membou, the right tackle, delivered an eye-catching rookie year. He started all 17 games and finished with a 72.7 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, which ranked 14th among 32 qualified right tackles. He’s also only 22 and already drawing praise for his athletic profile.
“He can be the best run-blocker in the league,” an NFL coordinator told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. “Just a big, long, powerful man.”
Fashanu’s rise has been just as important. After spending his rookie year mostly as a backup and making seven starts, he became a full-time starter in 2025. From Weeks 7-18, his 80.2 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus ranked 10th among 70 qualified tackles, just 0.2 points behind Detroit Lions star Penei Sewell.
Now heading into 2026, Fashanu is aiming to keep that level going for all 17 games.

Jets Still Have One Defensive Weak Spot They Cannot Ignore
The Jets have spent plenty of time trying to shore up the defense, but one spot still looks vulnerable enough to keep the front office shopping. Linebacker depth has become a real concern, with age and possible regression around the current group pushing New York to at least consider outside help rather than hoping the room sorts itself out on its own.
Several veteran names fit the kind of short-term fix the Jets could use, including Jerome Baker, Matt Milano and Elandon Roberts. Bobby Okereke also belongs on the radar, though he may not be eager to come in as a backup, and Milano brings the kind of upside that always tempts teams even if his availability makes the calculation a tricky one.

Jets Added A Defensive Piece Who Comes With One Big Catch
The Jets kept working to shore up their defensive front by signing former Packers lineman Kingsley Enagbare to a one-year contract, another move aimed at making the run defense sturdier. Enagbare gives New York a familiar kind of depth piece for this stage of the offseason, the sort of player who can fit into a rotation and help the line hold up better against physical opponents.
What makes the signing interesting is the role the Jets appear to have in mind for him. Enagbare is expected to be used more as a dependable run defender than as a consistent pass-rush threat, which means the fit matters as much as the name on the transaction wire. With T'Vondre Sweat, David Onyemata and Darrell Jackson Jr. already in the mix, the Jets are clearly building with a specific need in mind, and the next question is how much pressure Enagbare can actually add when the game plan asks for more than just setting the edge.

Jets Trade Idea Targets A Fix For Their Biggest Defensive Hole
The Jets have spent the offseason trying to patch the middle of their defense, and a new trade proposal points them toward a linebacker who could help stabilize that area without requiring a major investment. SirVocea Dennis has been viewed as an intriguing fit because of his range and upside, and the idea is simple enough: add a young defender who could grow alongside Jamien Sherwood while giving New York another option in a spot that has been a concern.
It is still just a speculative concept, not a confirmed move, but it speaks to where the Jets are right now. They have been active in trying to reshape the roster, and a low-cost deal for a player who might be squeezed out in Tampa Bay would fit the kind of opportunistic approach teams often take when they believe a clear need is staring them in the face.
