Odell Beckham Jr. is seemingly a fan of Jalin Hyatt’s number change.
“What he did here — had a great career with the Giants and kind of took over,” Hyatt told reporters this week. “I was a fan when I was young watching him. High school, college and now being here, but just with the jersey number, it’s just one of those things I wanted to start my own legacy.
“I like low numbers, and if I had to choose a number it’d be 11, but it’s retired here, so can’t go with that one, so 13 would be the next option.”But Hyatt didn’t make the decision to take the No. 13 on a whim and said he put plenty of thought into it.He said that the decision was ultimately his, but he polled some players in the Giants’ locker room.“I asked some of my teammates what they thought, and they told me, ‘You should do it,’ so I decided to make that change,” Hyatt said.
If things go the way the Giants hope they do, No. 13 could become synonymous with Hyatt in the future. The third-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft was one of the best wide receivers in college football a season ago.Hyatt had 67 receptions for Tennessee in 2022 and recorded 1,267 yards and touchdowns.
