Yahoo Sports NFL on Jalin Hyatt

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 each year from 557 as a rookie to 346 in 2024 to 171 in 2025, and he has yet to score a touchdown. While he possesses explosive traits and can locate and track the ball in the air, his route running and play at the catch point remain problematic. His 14.8% drop rate was concerning, and he has only seen the ball when the Giants were forced by injury. 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.
