Peanut butter and jelly. Macaroni and cheese. NFL wide receivers and cryptic tweets. 

Those are some of the greatest combos in this world. 

Former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jalin Hyatt crafted one of his own on Wednesday. 

The now New York Giants wideout received plenty of doubt during his NFL draft process. He probably did and still could feel like an underdog compared to some of his competitors. 

Narratives regarding a limited route tree and separation ability spawned quickly and spread during the spring. Regardless, the Giants were a big fan of his. They made a trade up for him, and they believe that he can be an important piece of their offense in the near and distant future. 

Through two regular season games, Hyatt has just two receptions. Those two catches have gone for 89 yards, though. New York will surely work him in more as the season progresses.

Hyatt's downfield ability and elite speed are intriguing traits that the Giants will look to build on during his career. Vols fans know him very well.
