Pair of rookies proving they can be Jets’ Breece Hall insurance
NY Post
There was a time in New York Giants history when they were enamored with smashmouth young running backs who became known as Baby Bulls.
Tucker Frederickson was the first-round pick in 1965, followed by Chuck Mercein and Ernie Koy, to join second-year bruisers ground pounders Ernie Wheelwright and Steve Thurlow.
The Jets introduced their rookie Baby Bulls in the preseason opener against the Commanders, and Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis look ready to give Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett comfortable insurance behind Breece Hall.
Hall gave the Baby Bulls two thumbs up as he left the locker room after Jets 20, Commanders 17.
On Allen, the fourth-round draft choice: “He played very well, very decisive. Showed off his speed and power. He’s getting better every day.”
On Davis, the fifth-round draft choice: “Isaiah showed off the same things as well. Showed his elusiveness and his route-running ability. It was cool to see them both showcase their talent in the big stage in the preseason.”
