Jalin Hyatt’s bigger, more muscular frame was not hard to see during spring practices. How much weight/muscle did the formerly rail-thin New York Giants wide receiver add this offseason?
Hyatt admitted to John Schmeelk on the Big Blue Huddle podcast that he is 23 to 25 pounds heavier than he was last season.
“I played at like 170, 171 last year. About 194, 195 now,” Hyatt said. “I’m telling you, that’s what darkness does to you.”
The 2024 season was a dark one for Hyatt. After showing some promise as a rookie in 2023, though perhaps not being the game-changer the Giants hoped for when they traded up to select him in Round 3 of the NFL Draft, Hyatt disappeared from the Giants’ offense last season.
