Throughout the offseason, NewYorkJets.com reporters Eric Allen, Ethan Greenberg, Randy Lange and Caroline Hendershot will give their responses to a series of questions regarding the Jets.
Today's question: Which skill player will lead the Jets in touchdowns in the 2025 season?
EA: Last season, Breece Hallled the way with 8 TDs while Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams tied for second with 7 receiving scores. The Jets totaled 40 TDs, which tied for 19th. OC Tanner Engstrand was the passing game coordinator in Detroit last season where the prolific Lions produced an NFL-high 70 TDs -- 39 pass TDs, 29 rush TDs and 2 return scores. Jahmyr Gibbs punched it in 20 times (16 rush and 4 pass), a mark that led the NFL and set a franchise mark for most TDs. The smart money would be to lean on Hall once again as he's a man on a mission and he can get to the end zone multiple ways. But there is a lot of unknown with this Jets offense and I think it's going to be a close race up top. Braelon Allen was brilliant in short-yardage situations as a rookie, Justin Fieldshad 8 rush TDs with the Bears in 2022 and Wilson matched his 2022-23 scoring output last season. Rookie Mason Taylor could develop into an intriguing red zone threat as well.
EG: I think the favorite is Breece Hall since he's led the team in total TDs each of the last three seasons. He's a receiving and rushing threat, but it seems HC Aaron Glenn will split the workload between Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis more evenly than last season, so I'm going with Garrett Wilson. Wilson is coming off a career-high 7 receiving touchdowns, which co-led the team, and Glenn said he's hoping to get Wilson the ball as much as possible. I think the Jets will be creative how to put the ball in Wilson's hands throughout the 2025 season.

RL: Coaches have been known to ride the hot hand when deciding which running back to give the ball to during a game or a stretch of games or a season. I'm going to do the same in regard to this question. RB Breece Hall led the Jets with five touchdowns in 2022, packing them all into the first seven games before he got injured. Hall easily topped the Jets again in '23 with nine TDs, then again last season with eight TDs, edging Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams by a TD each. HC Aaron Glenn has said the Jets plan to use all three of their RBs this season, Hall as well as second-year men Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, which suggests Hall's touches could go down. But his nose for the end zone has been proven, so I'm staying with the hot back and saying No. 20 will lead the Jets in touchdowns for the fourth straight year.
