Giants rookie WR trashed by anonymous NFL exec

Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (11) pulls in a catch from a ball thrown by tight end Princeton Fant (88) for a touchdown reception during the NCAA college football game against UT Martin on Saturday, October 22, 2022 in Knoxville, Tenn. Utvmartin1012

The propensity of anonymous executives to disparage players who haven’t even participated in an NFL game is intriguing. Jalin Hyatt, the New York Giants’ third-round selection from Tennessee, is no stranger to this kind of unmerited criticism, seemingly aimed at stirring controversy.

Hyatt, who fell into the Giants’ hands several rounds into the 2023 NFL Draft, anticipates making a substantial impact as a high-risk, high-reward prospect.
