New York Giants 2023 third-round pick and wide receiver, Jalin Hyatt, exited the team’s first practice of training camp early on Wednesday.
According FOX Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano, Hyatt left the field during Day 1 of camp and in the midst of a seven-on-seven drill because of “heat and illness” but was doing fine afterwards. The Tennessee product later returned to the field at the end of practice.
Prior to his early exit, Hyatt flashed his speed and provided an impressive clip showing the rookie wide receiver scoring a touchdown, something the Giants hope to see plenty of after taking him with the No. 73 overall pick earlier this year.

Hyatt will of course make the roster out of training camp, but how big of a role the speedster secures remains to be seen. The Giants have a crowded situation at wide receiver, and especially when it comes to the slot, where Hyatt primarily played in college.
