Confidence isn’t always built on Sundays.
For New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, the snaps have been limited and the spotlight unforgiving, with communication miscues and timing issues surfacing when opportunities do come. Still, offensive coordinator Tim Kelly made it clear Thursday that the organization’s belief in the young receiver hasn’t wavered.
Kelly acknowledged the challenges Hyatt faces in a depth role.
“That fourth, fifth receiver role is tough in this league,” Kelly said. “You’ve got to know everything. You have to be able to step in and execute whatever position we need you in at that point in time.”
Kelly admitted communication breakdowns have occurred — and that Hyatt has been “right there in the center of them” — he emphasized that the receiver is actively working to correct those issues and earn trust.
Why that progress hasn’t consistently translated to game days remains unanswered.
“I wish I had that answer,” Kelly said. “If I had that answer, I don’t think we’d be having this conversation.”
