After Gardner broke up a pass targeted for Hyatt, the Jets’ cornerback had some choice words for the Giants rookie.
“You with the bigs now,” Gardner said to Hyatt.
On the sideline, Gardner questions why the Giants are even trying to get a throw off on him.
It was a harsh welcome to the league for Hyatt, who was drafted in the third round this year, but Hyatt is sure to get his own soon. It’s still early, but a rivalry between Hyatt and Gardner could be something to look out for in the future.
