New England Patriots 2024 NFL Draft Target | Hayden Hatten| Wide Receiver | Idaho
One of my favorite receivers in the entire draft for several reasons. Primarily… he is a sleeper and undervalued due to him being a FCS receiver. BUT… I also like Hayden because he checks all the boxes for the Patriots, who are in dire need of fresh talent that can challenge some of the veterans and present an optimistic outlook for the future. Standing at 6'3" and weighing 210 pounds, this Hayden boasts a wide, athletic build with a dynamic lower half and an extensive wingspan. He has emerged as one of the nation's most productive receivers and was the primary chain-mover for Idaho with 93 receptions for 1231 yards, and a great endzone target with 9 TDs.
Known for his natural hands, high-level ball skills, and strong physical presence, Hatten dominates contested catches with his big frame, broad catch radius, and excellent body control. Adept at stacking defenders on deep routes, he excels as a jump-ball target, showcasing reliable ball tracking and adjustments. His superb hand-eye coordination allows him to make tough catches and explosive plays from both the boundary and the slot. Hayden shows impressive route-running, utilizing deceptive burst and quickness off the line of scrimmage.
Not just a threat in the passing game, he contributes actively as a tough blocker in the running game thanks to his experience as a tight end in high school.
