**Giants Might Finally Unleash Their Secret Weapon**
For what feels like forever, the Giants’ passing game has been all bark, no bite. They had the speed, the talent, and the playmakers — but no one to actually get them the ball deep.
Guys like Malik Nabers bring excitement, but without a QB who can launch it, it’s like having a Ferrari with no fuel.
That might finally be changing.
**Jalin Hyatt’s Potential Was Just Sitting There**
When the Giants took Jalin Hyatt in the 3rd round back in 2023, they knew they were getting a speed demon. The dude can fly, beat man coverage, and stretch the field like few others.
Problem? Speed’s pointless if your quarterback can’t hit you.
Daniel Jones just didn’t have the deep-ball touch. He only connected on eight passes over 20 air yards last season, and he made so many risky throws that coaches were scared to open things up.
So Hyatt got stuck in neutral. His rookie year had some promise — 373 yards — but last year? Just eight catches for 62 yards. Not because he wasn’t trying. The system just didn’t let him cook.
**Enter: Russell Wilson**
Now here comes Russell Wilson — a guy known for throwing one of the prettiest deep balls in the NFL.
Even if he’s past his prime, Wilson still ranked among the top deep-pass QBs last year. That alone could totally open up the Giants’ offense and give Hyatt the kind of looks he’s built for.
It’s not just Hyatt who’ll benefit either. Slayton and Nabers should see more space and more creative play designs, especially with layered routes and deep shots off play-action.
**Hyatt Doesn’t Need Volume — Just Opportunity**
Hyatt’s not gonna lead the team in catches, and that’s okay. He just needs to be the guy defenses have to account for. Someone who stretches the field, pulls safeties deep, and makes defenses sweat every time he sprints off the line.
If he gets 30 catches, 600 yards, and a few game-breaking plays? That’s a win.
**The Giants Offense Is Growing Up**
For once, it looks like New York finally has a quarterback who can let it fly.
If Hyatt stays healthy and sharpens his route running, this could be the season he goes from forgotten rookie to dangerous deep threat.
He’s not just fast — he’s a spark the Giants might finally know how to use.
