Not many are hopeful that the New York Jets, under the guidance of Aaron Glenn, will amount to something substantial in his first season.
Some predict the Jets will win a handful of games and have a tough season, while others think the franchise might be sneaky good, and exactly what that means is in the eye of the beholder.
But that is all noise from outside the building.
What about inside?
Running back Breece Hall thinks the roster that's been assembled has a lot of room to grow.
"I think our ceiling is very high," Hall said via the team's official website. … "We have really good, healthy competition, and we're all pushing each other to get better every day. It's going to be fun."
Expectations for New York this season vary.
Would another five-win season be acceptable? Or does Glenn and his team need a 7-10 season for this to be looking like they are on the right track?
And if the "high ceiling'' is achieved ... wouldn't that be quite the shocker?
With Justin Field orchestrating Tanner Engstrand's offense, with the help of Hall, Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds, and Allen Lazard, plus an offensive line that is stout and can move people out of the way in the run game, the Jets do have some nice pieces.
However, many are skeptical about whether Fields will show enough consistency to lead this team to win enough football games, but he's going to get a chance to prove he can.
Expecting to prop up the rest of the AFC East, the Jets are predicted to have a tough season, but Hall has different expectations.
Let's see just how high this ceiling can be in New York.
