NFC East Offensive Rookie of the Year Contender
Jalin Hyatt, WR, New York Giants, Round 3, Pick 10
Jalin Hyatt caught 67 passes for 1,267 yards (18.9 average per catch) while hauling in 15 touchdowns last year for the Tennessee Volunteers. He joins a Giants offense looking to add explosiveness in head coach Brian Daboll’s second year.
While not the most refined receiver in his draft class, Hyatt is easily one of the most explosive. Joining an offense whose top receiver only had 724 yards receiving in 2022, Hyatt will have every opportunity to put his blazing vertical speed to good use for Big Blue.
