The New York Giants drafted wide receiver Jalin Hyatt in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft from the Tennessee Volunteers. There were a lot of Giants fans who would have thought he could have been a deep threat for this football team, but he has not emerged into that guy.

Hyatt entering training camp was the fourth wide receiver on the depth chart. Now, there is a chance that his roster spot on the Giants could very well be in question. Hyatt caught three passes for 38 yards receiving and one touchdown in a 42-10 win for New York over the New England Patriots. With that being said, he had a couple of drops in the game on Thursday night, and it could very well doubt his future with this franchise.
New York Giants Fans Want Wide Receiver Jalin Hyatt Cut After Horrendous Preseason

There is no doubt that Hyatt is on the bubble to make the team. He only caught four passes for 59 yards receiving and one touchdown, along with averaging 14.8 yards per reception this preseason. There is no doubt that he also had some drops in the preseason game action as well. With the emergence of Beaux Collins, he most likely has overtaken Hyatt as the fourth wide receiver on the roster.
The question will be is worth the fifth and sixth wide receiver spots on the roster? Giants fans don’t think he is worth a spot on the 53-man roster. This is what some fans said about him during the preseason game against the Patriots or after the fact:
just when I was about to tweet that the Giants might have to cut Jalin Hyatt, lol.. I guess it’s impressive that he burnt the defense basically 3 straight times but dude can’t catch very well

Feel bad for Jalin Hyatt. He’s had a very, very rough few years to start his career. And now I’m wondering if he’s gonna get cut

Jalin Hyatt has to get cut. Two bad drops right through his hands on deep balls.

There is no doubt that Jaxson Dart and other quarterbacks have thrown him good passes this preseason and he has dropped passes. Hyatt may not have done enough this preseason to put himself on the 53-man roster. He hasn’t proven much in games anyways and they may be better off without him on the roster.
