On Thursday, the New York Giants posted a quick highlight video that included an impressive catch by former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jalin Hyatt during voluntary OTAs this week.
Hyatt, who is entering his second season with the Giants, caught a deep pass from Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito along the sideline.
The former Vol is hoping to take a step forward this season after catching 23 passes for 373 yards as a rookie last season.
Hyatt's catch from DeVito is certainly an encouraging start to the offseason for the former Vol.
Tennessee fans, however, will likely have some PTSD from the Butch Jones era when they see the caption that the Giants' social media team used for the highlight clip.
by (brick by brick) is how the Giants captioned the post.

Brick by brick, of course, was perhaps the most infamous saying from the Butch Jones era at Tennessee. It was posted everywhere and it was repeated so often that it was nauseating to even hear the phrase by the time Butch was ran out of Knoxville.
At one point, Jones was giving literal bricks to players when they committed.

I don't think there's a Tennessee fan on the planet who hears brick by brick and doesn't immediately think of the Butch Jones era.
The Giants probably weren't thinking about Butch Jones when they sent that tweet, but that's a phrase they'll probably want to retire when they find out how the former Tennessee head coach ruined it for everyone.
