Travis Etienne is a consistently productive running back. In three of his four seasons, he's rushed for over 1,000 yards, including last season. The former Jaguar starter looked dynamic and energized after battling shoulder and hamstring injuries in 2024. Etienne is a patient runner with quick footwork that takes his body wherever his eyes land. He is a dual threat out of the backfield as both a runner and a receiver. He's a dangerous player in space because of his top-end speed, making him a home run threat at any time from anywhere by turning plays into a footrace.

2025 was Breece Hall's first 1,000 rushing season of his career. After tearing his ACL in 2022, he's bounced back and looks like his best football is ahead. Hall is great at patiently setting up his blocks and using that explosive burst through the lane to slash through the teeth of the defense. He's a difference-maker as a receiver out of the backfield in the passing game. The Jets aren't known as a diamond mine of offensive talent, but Hall is clearly a diamond in the rough.

Kenneth Walker III is coming off his second 1,000-yard season and was named the Super Bowl MVP. He is a shifty runner with quick and sudden footwork. Walker is a smooth mover with outstanding vision. Walker's lateral agility and explosiveness create pathways to string together jump cuts outside to the perimeter. While he may not run a wide route tree, he is a capable receiving option out of the backfield. Walker's open field speed and acceleration highlight his dynamic playmaking ability. He has battled injuries throughout his career, keeping him from consistently being the full-time bell cow. Walker is a patient and dynamic running back who tips the scales in his offense's favor.
