The Jalin Hyatt hype train is in full swing, again — will it amount to anything this time?

Russell Wilson, new starting quarterback for the New York Giants, has taken every opportunity to praise wide receiver Jalin Hyatt this offseason.

“He’s a guy that I really believe in,” Wilson said of Hyatt last week after an OTA. “I’m really excited about him and what he’s done so far.”

During his introductory Zoom call with media after signing with the Giants, Wilson referred to Hyatt as an “untapped” playmaker on offense.

Wilson, famous for his deep “moon ball” passes, showed last season that he can still deliver in that area as he led the NFL in completion percentage on passes of 20 or more yards.
