Scouting report:
- Hyatt is a speed merchant. That’s the best thing he has going for him at this stage. Hyatt’s blinding speed makes up for flaws in the rest of his game. The name of the game should be to get him moving horizontally with crossers at the next level to allow his speed to manufacture YAC. Screens by the truckloads also wouldn’t be a terrible idea for his next offensive coordinator to deploy.
- Hyatt was utilized in the slot or in stacked formations to get him free releases in college. He has an 88.7% collegiate slot rate. When Hyatt was tasked with winning against man or press coverage, he couldn’t. Hyatt’s route running and release package are vanilla. He lacks nuance in his routes and wins only via speed releases. If corners can get their hands on him, it’s over. They have free access to his body, and his lack of upper body strength shows up immediately.

Dynasty Outlook: The Giants’ depth chart on paper looks like a logjam of slot receivers with Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard, Wan’Dale Robinson, Jamison Crowder, and Jalin Hyatt. If New York moves Hyatt to the boundary, he could struggle early if he cracks the starting lineup after seeing nothing but stacked formations and free releases in college. It’s possible that Hyatt walks out of training camp as the team’s starting slot, but it’s equally possible he will be redshirted this season. Hyatt is a third-round dart throw type of pick in rookie drafts.
