NFL Draft analysts dissect Breece Hall's fit with Jets: 'Zach Wilson is going to love him'

Breece Hall wasn't taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but the Iowa State running back didn't have to wait long Friday to hear his name called.

The New York Jets traded up to select the 2021 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year with the 36th overall pick in the draft (36th overall).

And the first running back taken in the 2022 NFL Draft seems to have found a solid fit, according to draft analysts.

ESPN's Louis Riddick thinks Hall and fellow Jets running back Michael Carter, who New York selected in last year's draft, will be a perfect fit and help alleviate pressure from second-year quarterback Zach Wilson.
