Former Tennessee wide receiver, Jalin Hyatt is well aware of what his performance against the Alabama Crimson Tide last season did for his career.

Hyatt made a name for himself in one of the biggest college football games of the 2022 football season when he scored five touchdowns against Alabama in a Tennessee win. He reflected back on his performance in a recent interview with ESPN.

“It probably changed my life,” Hyatt said. “But you know at the same time, though, that’s what football can do to you. That’s what it can bring and that’s why I take this sport so serious. This is my life and I love the sport and I love the game. I feel like loving the game or mistakes I make or whatever, if I’m doing good or doing bad, just learning from it and getting better the next day. I think that’s the biggest thing that I learned and just want to build on when I get [to the Giants].”

Hyatt went on to be the 73rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
