Jets RB Breece Hall talks about his college days with his roommate at the time, Brock Purdy:
"For me it was just seeing how hard Brock worked in college and Brock was my roommate for two and a half years. Having conversations with him, he always told me he was never the most talented, never the fastest, never the biggest, never the strongest arm, so he always had to work overly hard to make a bridge to be as good as everyone else.
And then just seeing how good of a person he was. Brock wasn’t a partier, he wasn’t going out drinking and doing none of that stuff. He was always football, football, football, which sometimes we tried to pull him out of that like 'Brother lets play a game or do something', but just seeing how he’s an all-American person, his faith in god, he never does anybody wrong, he always does the right thing. Just seeing how good of a person, how hard of a worker he was…
In college he always had big play potential. His potential to do a lot of stuff. We had some very big wins and everything… I always knew he had it in him to be a great player, but what he’s doing now is a complete surprise. He always told me 'As long as I got the pieces around me, I’m gonna be successful'. Just hearing him say that and now he has the pieces he needed, he’s successful."
