Dutch Fork players in NFL

By Thomas Grant Jr.

The current Dutch Fork players were not the only ones to have a memorable weekend.

A pair of former Silver Foxes made news with their play Sunday afternoon in the NFL.

In New York, wide receiver Jalin Hyatt achieved season highs in the 10-7 win over New England. The former University of Tennessee All-American had five receptions for 109 yards.

Drafted in the third round this year, Hyatt became the first Giants receiver with 100 receiving yards in a regular-season game since last year.

Hyatt was also the first New York receiver with three 20-yard plus receptions in a game since 2021.

Down the New Jersey Turnpike in Philadelphia, former Dutch Fork placekicker Tyler Bass reached a milestone. His 48-yard field goal was his 100th field goal of his career.
