Jalin Hyatt after first practice with Giants: “I’m a football player at the end of the day”

As rookie minicamp begins, one of the newest members of the New York Giants is locked in and focused on helping the team.

Jalin Hyatt, whom some projected as high as a late first-round pick, fell to No. 73, where Joe Schoen swooped in to snap him up. Now, Hyatt’s goal is more about improving than proving the naysayers wrong.

When asked about the frustration of hearing people question his role in the Tennessee offense, Hyatt said, “I’m a football player at the end of the day. Yeah, I came from Tennessee’s offense, which I had fun in, learned a lot of new things in that offense and now coming into this offense learning more new things.
