Jalin Hyatt

ANALYSIS
Though he struggled to produce as a rookie in 2023, Hyatt at least showed some flashes of potential. That wasn't really the case in 2024, as more than half of his season yardage total came in a Week 10 game against Carolina in which he posted a modest 39 receiving yards, and he didn't reach double-digit yards in any of his other 15 appearances. While the Giants didn't have a prolific passing game, it's illogical to attribute Hyatt's lack of growth entirely to the team's QB situation, as rookie sensation Malik Nabers managed 109 catches for 1,204 yards in the same offense. New York will likely have a new starting signal-caller in 2025, and veteran wideout Darius Slayton may not be back, which could improve Hyatt's outlook to some extent. However, Nabers will likely command a huge target share again in his sophomore campaign while Wan'Dale Robinson is set to return as the team's No. 2 receiver, which would leave Hyatt -- who will be in the third year of his rookie contract -- battling for looks as the third or fourth option in the WR pecking order.

ANALYSIS
Hyatt, the Giants' 2023 third-round pick, showed promise in his rookie season. However, he regressed in his sophomore campaign, during which he registered just one game with double-digit receiving yards and finished with eight catches on 19 targets for 62 yards and no scores over 16 regular-season games. The Giants overhauled their quarterback room during the offseason, and Carroll believes that Russell Wilson's strength of throwing deep balls lines up well with Hyatt's straight-line speed.
