The New York Giants second-year wide receiver Jalin Hyatt received an opportunity for an increased role without first-round star Malik Nabers. Hyatt played 48 snaps in Week 5 at Seattle — two plays shy of half his snaps on the season. Hyatt’s most snaps before Week 5 was 15 in Week 1.
Hyatt was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He recorded 23 catches on 40 targets for 373 yards in his rookie season. Wide receiver coach Mike Groh worked extensively with Hyatt all offseason, and praise for the second-year wide receiver was ubiquitous through the offseason and into the training camp.
