New York Jets running back Breece Hall’s post on social media didn’t go as planned.
On Monday October 23, Hall posted on X previously Twitter, “Found out I tore My ACL a year ago today. Look at God man [crossed fingers emoji]. Answered all my prayers and then some [prayer emoji].”
Hall was sharing some appreciation for everything that he has been through over the last calendar year, but it wasn’t interpreted that way on social media.
One fan responded, “Thanks for scaring the s*** outta me.”
Top Social Media Reactions to Hall’s Viral Post
Another social media user responded, “Don’t scare me like that bro. The beginning gave me a heart attack [skull emoji].”
One fan even started a poll underneath the post asking how many other fans went into “cardiac arrest” when they first started reading the tweet. Thousands of fans responded to the poll with an emphatic yes.
Fans weren’t the only ones who were caught off guard by the post.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport responded by saying, “How to almost cause a heart attack with a tweet [with three people facepalming emojis].”
NFL media personality Trey Wingo shouted, “Phrasing!” on social media in response to the tweet.
David Wyatt-Hupton asked if, “Anyone else have a heart attack reading the start of this message. Damn man [crying emoji] all I saw was ‘found out I tore my ACL’ and heart dropped.” He attached the popular GIF, “They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”
Hall Is Defying Modern Medicine, Recovery Timelines
A year ago, the Jets season drastically changed in Denver, Colorado.
Gang Green won the Week 7 contest against the Broncos but lost one of its best players on the team when Hall tore his ACL. The green and white offense was never the same after that.
Fast forward a year later and Hall leads the NFL in yards per carry with a 6.5 average (minimum 50 rushing attempts), per Jets reporter Ethan Greenberg.
Hall is No. 9 in the NFL in rushing yards through the first seven weeks of the season with 426 yards. He accomplished that feat with the second fewest rushing attempts of any player inside the top-nine.
Early in the season, the Jets restricted the former Iowa State product on a pitch count so they could work him back slowly from his torn ACL. However, Saleh removed the shackles heading into the Week 5 matchup versus the Denver Broncos and the rest was history.
If Hall was able to produce those kinds of numbers on a pitch count, imagine what he can do post-bye week even healthier the more he gets away from that ACL surgery.
I’ve been told by medical professionals that every injury and more specifically torn ACL is different. It is quite literally a case-by-case basis as it pertains to injury recovery timelines.
However how quickly Hall has bounced back is remarkable. In the very first game of the season, it was up in the air if he would even play.
Not only did Hall play in the game, but his first two rushing attempts of the season went for 109 total rushing yards. The explosiveness returning is one of the biggest pieces of the recovery process and Hall has shown a propensity for the big play this season.
