Giants WR Jalin Hyatt Says He's Turning To Uncrustables To Bulk Up

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has a rookie campaign under his belt following the 2023 season, but there'sroom for improvement, and he's trying to bulk up a little bit for this season.

His approach? Well, it involves getting a lot of protein by way of slamming some Uncrustables.

Hyatt had 373 yards on 23 receptions last year but didn't manage to find the end zone. Sure, part of that may have to do with let's say "inconsistent play" under center for the G-Men, but beefing up a little bit over the offseason to increase his YAC a little bit won't hurt, will it?

Unfortunately, Hyatt says he has one of those metabolisms that make me so jealous. The kind where he can pretty much eat whatever he wants and not gain weight.

That's a great asset if you spend your days sitting at a computer writing and looking very handsome like I do, but that's no bueno for a pro football player.

The 6-foot, 185-pound Hyatt explained this dilemma during an interview on the Giants' YouTube channel.

"Some guys is easier for them to gain weight or gain muscle," Hyatt said. "For myself, it's harder. I burn a lot of calories quick, and I'm just one of those guys that got to keep eating."

But he's not just housing Big Macs or whatever permutation of tortilla, meat, and cheese Taco Bell is peddling (it's amazing that they haven't run out of ideas yet, but I think they're getting close. Now they're like, "I don't know… we could throw a giant Cheez-It in it, maybe?").

Nope, it's all about PB&Js.

"PB&Js was one of my biggest things," he explained. "Because, y'know, I'll eat the meals and you want to eat before a meal. You don't want to eat a little bit and then drink a protein shake; then you're not really getting anything. For myself, it was completing your full meals and then when you do have an hour later or thirty minutes later, that's when you put in an Uncrustable or a PB&J."

Look, if this tactic works and Jalin Hyatt pops off next year, he needs to become the face of Uncrustables. 

If that doesn't happen I know at least one guy (me) who will not hesitate to send Smucker's a strongly-worded email on his behalf.
