Jalin Hyatt Targeting Eye-Popping Combine Numbers

Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is reportedly expecting to have a big NFL Combine performance.

The NFL Combine always allows prospects to rocket up draft boards after posting strong athletic testing numbers. Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt could be one of those players; some have questions about his slender size, but he could dismiss those in March.

According to a report, Hyatt expects to run a 4.29-second forty-yard dash, which would likely be the fastest time anyone runs. He logged 67 catches for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns in his final season on Rocky Top, becoming Tennessee's first Biletnikoff Award winner. Hyatt's speed enabled him to become one of the best downfield threats in college football, and he tracked the football exceptionally well out of the air.

Jalin Hyatt said he is targeting to run a “4.29” in the 40-yard dash next month at the NFL Combine.

It will be our first look at Hyatt since he played his final game against Missouri. He has been training and posting videos of his footwork online in the offseason, displaying the explosiveness many NFL executives will covet in the predraft process.

He is projected to go within the top 50, with some outlets being higher on him than others. Hyatt hopes to end up in the first round, but he needs to put some tracking data on his resume before he can cement his status.
