Breece Hall didn’t have the warmest of welcomes after touching down back home in New Jersey after spending time in Las Vegas for Super Bowl XVLIII.

According to TMZ, the Jets standout running back was at baggage claim inside Newark Airport when a fan approached and asked for an autograph. Hall  declined, and the fan quickly turned unruly.

“So, be a man,” the fan could be heard saying. “If you’re gonna slap me, slap me.”

Hall seemed to keep his cool and turned his back to the fan, waiting for his bag as the fan continued to jaw at the 22-year-old, when none other than Giants great Carl Banks stepped between the two to diffuse the situation. The fan was eventually guided away from Hall, but didn’t stop giving the Jet an earful on his way out.

“Get the f--k out of here,” the fan said as he disappeared from view. “You p---y.”

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) after the incident, Hall said, “If you know me you know I always show love!!! There’s a time and a place for everything but harassing me at baggage claim ain’t the time or place.

“Thankfully Carl and my guy Joe were there to keep anything from happening.”
