Hype? If anything, lately he has been getting bad press. Apparent weaknesses are popping up. 'Maybe his compete level isn't there'... 'he hasn't played for months now, and he could have bombed in the playoffs and dropped his ranking'... etc.
I would infer the opposite of getting hyped is happening, and perhaps with the very opposite intentions! You can never tell this close to the draft.
