Giants rookie Jalin Hyatt records a speed of 24mph in training camp

NFL Giants rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has been setting the Giants’ training camp ablaze in more ways than one as he prepares for his first season as a pro.

Hyatt was clocked running as fast as 24 mph during practice over the weekend, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com, which would have given him the record for fastest speed clocked in NFL history had it happened during an actual game.

The current record belongs to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who once hit a top speed of 23.2 miles per hour during a game in 2016.

In the lead up to this year’s NFL Draft Hyatt had been heralded by scouts and executives for his elite burst and downfield speed, which he put on full display while running a 4.40 40-yard dash during the NFL combine.

Hyatt has also been impressing in camp in more ways than just his speed.

‘I’m excited for him,’ fellow wideout Isaiah Hodgins told reporters following Monday’s practice.

‘He definitely brings just that explosive part to our offense. He’s one of those pieces that helps stretch the field for us vertically.’ 

While playing in college at Tennessee, Hyatt scored a school-record 15 touchdowns -which was the second-most in the nation – and averaged an absurd 18.9 yards per catch last season.

‘He’s doing everything a rookie is supposed to be doing,’ Hodgins said. ‘He’s asking all the right questions. He’s soaking everything in like a sponge. He comes up to me, Slay [Darius Slayton], Beas [Cole Beasley] he’s always asking questions, trying to watch film and do all the right things.

‘I’m excited for him to keep taking it step by step and learning this game, getting all those bumps out of the way, which it seems like he already has, and just keep taking the top off of defenses.’
