TOP PLAYS
Wilson has been singing the praises of third-year wide receiver Jalin Hyatt ever since the veteran quarterback signed with the team in late March. The two have continued to develop their chemistry throughout the spring, and the connection was on full display Tuesday. Hyatt ran a great route toward the sideline during 7-on-7s, with Wilson hitting him in stride for a first down. Later in 11-on-11s, Wilson found Hyatt on another “moonball” pass deep down the field for a 50-yard gain. It didn’t end there, though, as Wilson hit the young wideout near the sideline during the final 7-on-7 period, where Hyatt made a great back shoulder grab for a first down.
“Jalin Hyatt, he’s a guy that I really believe in,” Wilson told the media last week.
Theo Johnson wasn’t the only tight end to get in on the action Tuesday. The trio of Johnson, Daniel Bellinger and Thomas Fidone II caught passes from all four quarterbacks in both 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s, with all three tight ends each making an impressive grab.
Lil’Jordan Humphrey put together a strong practice with three catches for big gains, two of which came from Jaxson Dart and the third from Winston. On the first pass from Dart, the rookie quarterback placed the ball where only his receiver could get it, and the veteran wideout made an athletic play to catch the ball and get both feet down in bounds.
On the defensive side of the ball, Paulson Adebo did a little of everything with a pass breakup during 7-on-7s and a sack during 11-on-11s.
Raheem Layne also had a pass breakup early in practice, while Cor’Dale Flott got his hands on the football near the end of the session.
Brian Burns continued his strong spring with another would-be sack during team drills.
