Had three or four catches in practice on Friday, including a highlight-reel leaping grab between defensive backs Nic Jones and Korie Black on a Jameis Winston throw. Despite being derisively called 'Mr. July' due to inconsistent performance in past seasons, Hyatt showed up with productive reps during the practice session.NegativeDepth ChartJul 27, 2026
Jalin Hyatt's tenure with the Giants appears to be in jeopardy. The source poses the question: "Is this finally the end of the line for Jalin Hyatt?" This suggests the wide receiver may be cut or lose his roster spot during the upcoming training camp and roster battles.NegativeBustJul 24, 2026
Hyatt is assessed as a true draft bust with declining snap load (557 as rookie → 346 in 2024 → 171 in 2025), zero touchdowns through three seasons, and minimal opportunity despite flashing impressive catches. The source attributes the bust to Hyatt's own technical deficiencies—route running and play at the catch point remain problematic—rather than coaching failure. While 2023 tape showed explosiveness (21.4 mph top speed, seven explosive plays, 14.8% drop rate), he has not taken steps forward and has only seen the ball when the Giants were forced by injury. New wide receivers coach Chad Hall's familiarity with Hyatt and understanding of his technical struggles may help through route selection and schemed touches, but the source increasingly views Hyatt as a true bust rather than a player failed by coaching staff.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Hyatt, the Giants' third-round pick in 2023, has almost completely failed to live up to expectations despite displaying elite speed. In his rookie season, he caught 23 of 40 targets for 373 yards (57.5% catch rate) with 4 drops and 16.2 yards per catch on 557 offensive snaps. He was often used as a 'sacrificial receiver' tasked with vertical routes to threaten the defense but never in the read progression. However, his ability to stretch the field adds a dynamic element the Giants desperately missed. The combination of Hyatt and Darius Slayton gives the Giants two speed-options to maximize two-man route concepts off play action. At 22 years old, Hyatt is still growing as a route runner; his nuances of uncovering against zone and being on the same page with the quarterback can improve. His 14.8% drop rate is not ideal but his ability to track, concentrate, adjust, and secure popped on tape. He mostly ran go routes and hitches with a top timed speed of 21.4 mph and seven explosive plays. He aligned on the outside 88.3% of the time, 48% on the left side.
