Walker put it all together as an edge defender in this game. He was stout against the run and lived in the backfield all game (anything else that happened was woke, off-ball nonsense). The time out clearly did him good; his lower-body explosiveness was noticeable. Walker was considered a project on draft night; he's been learning and playing a more defined position and has improved every game.
Hyatt lost his starting receiver spot during his sophomore season at Tennessee in 2021. Two games into the year, he was benched. It was a wake-up call and it showed him that his game preparation wasn't good enough. Four years later, he called that memory a blessing and motivation for his current situation: a player running out of time to impress but facing his best chance to do so with Malik Nabers sidelined for the season.
