Hyatt's declining snap load and lack of progression signal true draft bust status.

Hyatt has not progressed since his rookie season despite flashing impressive catches; his snap load has declined from 557 as a rookie to 346 in 2024 to just 171 in 2025, and he remains without a touchdown. His route running and play at the catch point remain problematic, with a 14.8% drop rate in 2023. While he possesses explosive traits (21.4 mph top speed, seven explosive plays in 2023) and can locate and track the ball, the source assesses him as a true draft bust rather than a player failed by coaching staff, though new wide receivers coach Chad Hall may attempt to help through route selection and schemed touches.
