There’s a new Jets duo in town.
Breece Hall and rookie Braelon Allen are currently the headliners in the Jets’ offense—perhaps they will soon be known as the B&B Boys.
Hall, the third-year running back, is known for his speed and reactions, while Allen, a 20-year-old freshman, is what Robert Saleh calls a “bulldozer.”
Together, they scored all three touchdowns – each on a pass reception before Allen scored the game-winning touchdown on the ground – in the Jets’ 24-17 win over the Titans that offered a hint of what the future might hold.
It’s been 30 years since the Jets had two running backs score a touchdown in the same game – since Richie Anderson and Johnny Johnson each caught one from Boomer Esiason against the Dolphins in 1994.
It was a big difference for Hall, who did the running work last season while Dalvin Cook wasn’t the expected addition. Hall and Allen have found a friend and training partner in each other.
“(Allen) was shy and quiet at first. And then he realized how much I play around, what a goofball I am,” Hall told The Post on Tuesday. “I feel like he’s developed a little faster than I did my freshman year. … He’s really smart, understands the offense from a whole standpoint now. It’s just been great to see him get some (opportunities). He’s done great on the ops he’s gotten, so I’m definitely proud of him.”
On Sunday, Allen became the youngest NFL player to score multiple touchdowns in a single game and the first Jets rookie to score both a receiving and rushing touchdown in the same game.
“I knew who he was when we drafted him because I had heard about this 17-year-old kid who played at the University of Wisconsin when I was playing in Green Bay. I couldn’t believe it,” Aaron Rodgers said of Allen. “It’s a good reminder of how special it is to still be playing at 40.”
The duo is on track to become an offensive force under new running backs coach Tony Dews and will be tested on Thursday against the Patriots, who have allowed the second-fewest rushing yards (116) this season at 3.3 yards per carry.
“You couldn’t ask for a better situation coming in with a guy like Breece,” Allen told the Post. “The success he had so early in his career was obviously something I wanted to build on. So you couldn’t ask for a better person to have by your side.”
