A cubist interpretation of Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson's dynamic playmaking ability, as he is projected to be an early selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.New Orleans TodayArizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is projected to be selected early in the 2026 NFL Draft, with recent mock drafts from various experts having him going anywhere from 8th overall to 22nd overall. The 6'2" pass-catcher has drawn interest from teams like the Rams, Saints, Chiefs, and Steelers, who are looking to add a dynamic playmaker to their offenses.
Why it matters
Tyson is one of the top wide receiver prospects in this year's draft class, with his combination of size, speed, and playmaking ability making him an attractive option for teams in need of offensive firepower. His draft position will have major implications on which team he ends up with and how quickly he can make an impact at the next level.
The details
NFL draft experts have projected a wide range of landing spots for Tyson, with some mocks having him going as high as 8th overall to the Rams and as low as 22nd overall to the Steelers. Analysts have highlighted Tyson's potential to be a game-changing receiver who can win both inside and outside, though some have also noted concerns about his injury history over the past two seasons. Teams like the Saints, Chiefs, and Steelers are all seen as potential landing spots for Tyson, as they look to add dynamic pass-catching talent to complement their young quarterbacks.
- The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 24-26, 2026.
The players
Jordyn Tyson
A standout wide receiver from Arizona State University who is projected to be an early-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Davante Adams
A 34-year-old wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams who is entering the final year of his contract.
Puka Nacua
A wide receiver for the Rams who has faced some off-field issues, introducing uncertainty around his future with the team.
Chris Olave
A wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints who is entering the final year of his contract and has been the subject of trade rumors.
Tyler Shough
The promising young quarterback for the New Orleans Saints.
What they’re saying
“Increasingly, the Rams feel like a destination for a wide receiver. Davante Adams is 34 years old and in the last season of his deal. And while Puka Nacua was seemingly a no-brainer for a record-setting extension, his off-field escapades have introduced some uncertainty there as well. That makes Tyson a candidate here, despite his injury concerns.”
— Theo Mackie
“New Orleans ranked in the bottom half of the NFL in total offense last season. Chris Olave, who is routinely on the trading block, is entering the final year of his contract. Tyson will give the Saints necessary insurance if Olave leaves or would create a solid one-two punch on the outside for promising young QB Tyler Shough.”
— Tyler Dragon
“I feel like Jordan Addison's star has dimmed over the last couple of years for lack of on-field production and off-field [stuff]. It feels like the defense has people everywhere already.”
— Nick Wright
“They need to get somebody to play opposite Garrett Wilson. Tyson has played inside and outside in his career. When he's on the field — and he missed time the past two seasons — he might be the best receiver in this class.”
— Pete Prisco
“With a top-10 pick for the first time since 2017 — when the Chiefs took some guy named Patrick Mahomes — Kansas City can go in a variety of directions here. Cornerback and edge rusher are certainly options. I still think finding offensive playmakers is a major priority, though, especially with Mahomes coming off the ACL injury. Tyson pops more than any other receiver in this draft class; he just needs to stay healthy.”
— Peter Schrager
What’s next
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 24-26, 2026, where Jordyn Tyson's final draft position will be determined.
The takeaway
Jordyn Tyson's draft stock remains highly volatile, with NFL experts projecting him to go anywhere from the top 10 to the back half of the first round. His combination of size, speed, and playmaking ability make him an enticing prospect, but concerns about his recent injury history could cause him to slide on draft day. Whichever team ends up selecting Tyson will be getting a dynamic receiver with the potential to make an immediate impact at the next level.
