Jalin Hyatt, the recent pick of the New York Giants in the Round 3 of the 2023 NFL draft, is already proving to be a valuable addition to the team. According to Giants Wire, Hyatt has gained nearly 15 pounds this offseason, and he intends to play at 190 pounds this coming season (Giants Wire). The receiver help that Hyatt is expected to bring to Daniel Jones is evident from the Giants’ swift action to trade up to the No. 73 pick to select him (New York Post).
While the selection of Hyatt in the draft received mixed grades, the majority of the reactions have been positive (Giants Wire). As per the Knoxville News Sentinel, the New York Giants should expect a lot from the Tennessee football wide receiver. Previously, Hyatt showcased his potential to be a top-tier receiver, recording 18.4 yards per catch in his sophomore year and a 21.5-yard average per catch during his freshman year (DraftKings Nation).
Hyatt’s selection is all the more exciting because of his excellent athletic abilities. Operating as a kick returner during his college playing days, Hyatt ran a 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds and recorded a 40.1-inch vertical jump (Vols Wire). With a unique combination of speed, agility, and strength, Hyatt is confident in his abilities and is eager to make his presence felt on the field.
The New York Giants will undoubtedly derive a lot of mileage from the versatile wide receiver who is full of potential. Head Coach Joe Judge has a successful track record of selecting players who perform well, and Hyatt appears to be among the most intriguing prospects the Giants have had in recent years (AtoZ Sports). Giants fans eagerly await the start of the season to see Hyatt take the field in his blue and white jersey.
