Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, who joined the team as a third-round pick last year, has never been on an NFL playoff team. Despite not reaching his goal of being the offensive rookie of the year last season, he remains determined to set high expectations for himself. Hyatt caught 23 passes for 373 yards in his rookie year and was asked at a recent press conference if falling short of his goal would prevent him from setting big goals for the upcoming season. Hyatt clarified that while he will always set high expectations, his focus this year is on the team rather than individual achievements.
Hyatt expressed confidence in the team’s potential, emphasizing their strong roster and their goal of becoming a playoff team. He believes that the team has a good chance of achieving their objectives and is determined to work towards that goal. Despite outside skepticism, Hyatt remains optimistic about the team’s ability to defy expectations, drawing parallels to when the Giants reached the divisional round a couple of years ago.
If the Giants can surpass expectations once again, it will be a positive indication of the franchise’s progress and potential for future success. Hyatt’s shift in focus from individual goals to team objectives reflects his commitment to working collaboratively towards achieving success and making a playoff run in the upcoming season.
