How Wisconsin great Braelon Allen performed in New York Jets' preseason win over Giants

Former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen delivered a strong performance in the New York Jets' preseason loss to the New York Giants on Saturday.Allen took seven carries for 34 yards (4.9 yards per carry) in the 31-12 defeat.

Just like in the team's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers, Allen was more efficient than starter Breece Hall, who rushed for just 26 yards on seven carries.Allen now has 67 rushing yards on 15 carries through two preseason contests, compared to Hall's 35 yards on 10 carries.

The former Wisconsin great is unlikely to claim the full-time workload when the 2025 season kicks off, both due to Hall's talent as a pass-catcher and his status as a second-round draft selection.

But it's hard to ignore Allen's current trajectory.

At the least, he is showing enough production and consistency to begin to carve into Hall's workload.None should be surprised if Allen improves on his 92-carry, 334-yard, two-touchdown rookie season in 2024.

He is currently a popular pick for a sophomore breakout, especially as the Jets work to establish an identity under new head coach Aaron Glenn.different kind of warmup @BraelonAllenpic.twitter.com/9WOn68mRxm New York Jets (@nyjets) August 16, 2025Contact/Follow @TheBadgersWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Wisconsin Badgers news, notes and opinionThis article originally appeared on Badgers Wire: Wisconsin football Braelon Allen stats Jets NFL preseason Week 2 game.
