When the Jaguars signed Dyami Brown, the expectation was that he was going to build off of his strong finish to the 2024 season. And for a brief moment, it looked like he was going to pull it off. However, he began to struggle with consistency and progressively phased out of the game plan. By midseason, it was abundantly clear that the Jags had lost confidence in him when they traded for Jakobi Meyers.
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.
