In a recent 2026 NFL Mock Draft, the New York Jets are projected to select star wide receiver prospect Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State with the 16th overall pick. Tyson, seen as one of the most explosive receivers in the draft class, would provide a dynamic weapon to pair alongside the Jets' 2025 first-round pick Garrett Wilson, giving the team a formidable receiving duo as they look to build their offense for the future.
Why it matters
The Jets entered the offseason with major holes to fill, including at wide receiver. Adding a talent like Tyson to complement Garrett Wilson would give the Jets a potent passing attack and provide their quarterback, whether it's Geno Smith or a future draft pick, with a pair of talented targets to work with.
The details
In the mock draft from CBS Sports' Garrett Podell, the Jets are projected to select the 6-foot-2 Tyson, who is considered the second-best wide receiver prospect in the 2026 class. Tyson has shown the ability to blow by defenders and turn routine catches into big plays, though his draft stock has been impacted somewhat by a nagging hamstring injury. The Jets, however, are willing to take a chance on Tyson's immense talent and potential, knowing he may not be able to contribute right away as they build for the future.
- The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 24-26, 2026.
The players
Jordyn Tyson
A wide receiver prospect from Arizona State University who is considered one of the most explosive receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft class.
Garrett Wilson
The New York Jets' first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, who had a promising rookie season and would form a dynamic receiving duo with Tyson if the Jets select him.
Geno Smith
The New York Jets' current starting quarterback, who could benefit from having Tyson and Wilson as targets if the team decides to keep him as the stopgap option under center.
What they’re saying
“Jordyn Tyson is arguably the most explosive receiver in this draft. His film shows him blowing by defenders and turning routine catches into big plays after the catch, but the concern is a nagging hamstring injury that is scaring away some teams picking higher. New York doesn't mind if he can't play right away given it is building for the future.”
— Garrett Podell, CBS Sports Writer
What’s next
The Jets will have the opportunity to select Tyson or another top wide receiver prospect when the 2026 NFL Draft takes place from April 24-26, 2026.
The takeaway
The Jets' selection of Tyson in this mock draft would give them a dynamic receiving duo with Garrett Wilson, providing their future quarterback with a pair of talented targets to build around as the team looks to improve its offense and return to playoff contention.
