In a recent article, we broke down New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett‘s historical preferences with personnel usage. We found out that, in recent years, Hackett’s teams heavily favored the usage of 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TE, 2 WR). The 2022 Broncos led the NFL with a 30.9% usage rate of 12 personnel while the 2021 Packers ranked second at 30.3%.
It remains to be seen whether the Jets will maintain those lofty numbers throughout the entirety of the 2023 season. But for at least one week, they would be wise to match Hackett’s recent 12 personnel usage rates – or even exceed them.
