As the New York Giants prepare for training camp under first-year head coach John Harbaugh, the wide receiver room features significant veteran additions and a new third-round draft pick, Malachi Fields, creating a challenging environment for several incumbents.

Among those facing an uncertain future is Jalin Hyatt, the 2023 third-round selection acquired via trade-up, whose limited production has raised questions about his fit in the revamped offense.

Hyatt appeared in 41 games over three seasons but recorded just 36 receptions for 470 yards, with minimal targets in recent years and no touchdowns. He was a healthy scratch multiple times in 2025, underscoring his diminished role despite the team's prior need at the position.

Dan Duggan of The Athletic notes that the Giants are "likely" to move on from Hyatt after training camp, barring something unforeseen.

Remember the buzz about Hyatt bulking up a year ago? It’s a good reminder not to get carried away with offseason hype after Hyatt had just five catches for 35 yards last season, despite the Giants being desperate for wide receiver help. Championed as a draft steal after the Giants traded up for Hyatt in the third round in 2023, the pre-draft concerns about his limited skill set have proven accurate. The influx of veteran receivers this offseason has likely ended Hyatt’s time in New York.

With additions like Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Odell Beckham Jr., and Fields, plus holdovers such as Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton, Hyatt enters camp battling for one of the final roster spots. His final contract year offers a last opportunity, but the depth chart suggests his tenure with the Giants may be nearing its end.
