There were tons of highlights of him just running his route to open field while a dipshit corner or safety ran the wrong direction. He was also very rarely pressed, so there's questions about his ability to beat that.
That said, he does have elite traits in terms of speed/size combo, it's just that there are unanswered questions that someone will have to gamble on.

If you're a Hyatt guy i don't see how you aren't a Palmer guy too. They're damn near the same player with the same kind of questions, except i think Palmer showed more on "film" than Hyatt did.
I will say though that Hyatt tested much better than Palmer in those explosive lower body categories such as broad jump and vertical. Palmer's tested vertical is atrocious. That's troublesome. But then when you watch him, he doesn't appear to be a guy who struggles to elevate for a ball.
But just as Hyatt looks faster than he timed on "tape", Palmer looks more explosive than he tested on "tape".
They're both 6' tall speedsters except Palmer has 20 lbs on Hyatt and bigger hands.
Their 10 yard splits are pretty much identical.
But when you look at the film, Palmer has a lot more NFL-esque plays than Hyatt has.
