We have seen this before. We’ve seen how a snub — real or perceived — can serve as fuel. You may have heard Tom Brady was the 199th pick back in the 2000 NFL Draft, and Brady essentially has the names of the six quarterbacks picked ahead of him tattooed into his soul as an eternal reminder of that rebuke.

“Pennington … Carmazzi … Redman … Martin … Bulger … Wynn …”

Michael Jordan grew up to become perhaps the greatest basketball player who ever lived, and the most famous athlete on planet Earth. But he was cut from the varsity as a 15-year-old sophomore at Laney High School, and that scar was like kerosene, to the point that he referenced that coach in his Hall of Fame induction speech.

Breece Hall has made little secret of how disappointed he was hearing 32 names in the first round of last spring’s draft that didn’t belong to him. Borrowing his coach’s famous line, the Jets’ rookie running back said this past week — with a smile — “I definitely took some receipts.”

More importantly, he has chosen to lean on the positives of that experience — the Jets did trade up to pick him, after all, with the fourth pick of the second round, and they haven’t been shy saying they believed he was a first-round talent.

And there is this: he has been terrific so far.

“He’s a home run hitter,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said Sunday. “There’s no price for a home run hitter.”

Sunday, in the Jets’ staggering 27-10 upset of the Packers at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field, Hall carried the ball 20 times for 116 yards. On the first play of the fourth quarter, he took a handoff on an inside trap play, weaved his way through and around the Packers’ defense for 34 yards and after crossing the goal line he sprinted a few extra yards to a waiting pocket of front-row Jets fans.

A Jersey Jump in the land of the Lambeau Leap.

“I had to do that,” Hall said, laughing. “I had to.”

Hall reported later that he was supposed to throw the ball on the play, but when Garrett Wilson wasn’t open he decided to keep it himself. Smart choice.

It’s not like Hall was an unknown commodity. At Iowa State he led the nation in rushing in 2020, he scored 56 touchdowns in three seasons, including an NCAA record string of 24 games in a row with a TD. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry at Ames.

That also happened to be his average on Sunday. Coming seven days after his breakout performance against the Dolphins last week — 197 total yards on 100 receiving and 97 rushing — he has certainly emerged as an early leader in the clubhouse as the NFL’s top offensive rookie.

He has quickly become a dangerous offensive weapon on a team that has craved such firepower for years. He has a nose for holes, and that becomes Pinocchio-like when he can sniff the end zone. He already has four of them.

With Zach Wilson still finding his footing as a foundational quarterback — after a slow start Wilson finished 10-for-18 for 110 yards — Hall has already accepted a huge portion of the offensive burden, and seems to love every moment of it.

When Hall returned to the sidelines after his touchdown, a smile plastered on his face, he passed Wilson sitting on the bench. The quarterback was giddy, too.

“What the f—, man!” Wilson crowed, in a moment that might not make the alumni newsletter at his alma mater, BYU, but probably perfectly summarized the reaction of most every Jets fan who watched this stunning display.

“It feels great to win in an historical place like this,” Hall said. “We just played complementary football. All week we showed grit in practice, our offense and our defense and it all extends into today. We showed we were relentless.”

Hall showed he’s certainly doing his part to make sure the Jets’ 2022 draft winds up being every bit the game-changer that GM Joe Douglas hoped it would be when he started assembling draft picks, the first domino the trade of Jamal Adams which feels more and more like a franchise-defining decision the more time goes by.

“We’re not satisfied,” Hall said. “A lot of people thought it would be a surprise but we expected to win this game.”

It’s been an improbable journey for the Jets so far. And for Hall? From draft day disappointment to a Lambeau Leap, it’s been quite an adventurous route for him, too.
