The New York Giants drafted rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt in the third round of last year’s NFL Draft from the University of Tennessee.
Hyatt entered the league with much more attention on him than most third-round wide receivers, but such is the case when a player with Hyatt’s potential gets drafted to a receiver-needy team in a market like the one the Giants play in.
Hyatt is looking forward to his first offseason as a professional as a time to reset and improve as a player.
I just want to keep getting better and keep grinding,” Hyatt said as the team packed up its belongings a day after its 2023 regular season ended.
“Stay off my feet a little bit at the beginning of this offseason but right back to the grind after that. I can’t wait.”
Hyatt experienced the highs and lows that are typical for most rookies in the National Football League.
His first season in the NFL has given him the confidence he needs for a successful second season.
A lot more confident, and that just goes by experiencing games,” Hyatt said.
“I feel like I know, fully this playbook and fully what I’ve got to do.
At the beginning, I didn’t really know, starting off. Keep getting better.
That’s the mindset I have for myself. I have high expectations, and it starts with the work in the offseason. That starts now.”
