Giants’ speedy 3rd round draft pick dispels route-running concerns

The New York Giants were fortunate when Tennessee receiver Jalin Hyatt fell to the third round, despite being projected as a potential first-round pick. Known for his straight-line speed and vertical prowess from the slot, Hyatt insists he is more than just a one-dimensional player, asserting a far more diverse route tree.

Ultimately, the Giants require increased athleticism in their receiver corps, and Hyatt provides precisely that. Boasting an impressive 4.40 speed and even greater game velocity, he has drawn comparisons to players like DeSean Jackson, a known nemesis of the Giants.

The Giants are getting a productive WR in Jalin Hyatt:

Last year, Hyatt amassed 1,267 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns, including five touchdowns against Alabama in one of his best collegiate performances.
