FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Breece Hall was in a race against the calendar last summer, rehabbing his surgically repaired knee with the goal of playing in the New York Jets' season opener.
Once again, Hall has attached added significance to Week 1. This time, instead of just being on the field, he wants to own it.
The Jets face the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 9, and Hall sees it as an opportunity to measure himself against Christian McCaffrey, whom he considers the best running back in the NFL.
