On October 23, 2022, New York Jets running back Breece Hall suffered a torn ACL during what was shaping up to be a breakout NFL season. The injury was devastating — but what happened next proved that the right recovery program changes everything.
The Saquon Connection
After his injury, Breece connected with Saquon Barkley — a fellow NFL running back who had been through his own ACL recovery with Accelerate ACL. Saquon's referral brought Breece into the program in October 2022, where he began working with the Accelerate ACL team both in-person and virtually.
This peer-to-peer trust between two of the NFL's top running backs speaks volumes about what Accelerate ACL delivers. When your career is on the line, you go where the results are.
"After the first three workouts my legs would be sore but they'd feel a little more fresh at the same time, and I knew they'd be stronger after each session."

For Breece, speed isn't just a stat — it's his game. A major knee injury threatens that top-end gear. The focus of his Accelerate ACL program was neuromuscular re-education using the Volta X device.
While his knee healed structurally, Accelerate ACL ensured the connection between brain and muscle remained distinct and powerful. Using direct-current neuromuscular activation sessions, Breece was able to simulate high-load muscle firing patterns without putting stress on the healing graft — building strength and explosiveness from day one.
After ACL surgery, the brain's connection to the quad muscle shuts down — a phenomenon called arthrogenic muscle inhibition. The Volta X uses direct current neuromuscular stimulation to reactivate that connection, which is why athletes like Breece feel muscles that are "sore but fresh" after sessions. The muscle is firing again.
Exceeding Expectations
Throughout his recovery, Breece consistently exceeded expectations — impressing not only his doctors and trainers but also his Jets teammates. The collaboration between Accelerate ACL and the New York Jets organization was key to his structured, aggressive return timeline.
"All you guys have to do is show the facts and it's impossible to say no at that point."
