Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson: 2026 NFL Draft profile, latest mock predictions originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jordyn Tyson had an interesting college experience. The standout wide receiver was deemed as being a castaway at Colorado after Deion Sanders took over before the 2023 season. He took his talents to Tempe and shined for Kenny Dillingham and the Sun Devils.
Tyson is now projected as a top-10 pick, and needless to say, the move for him was life-changing. The third-team Associated Press All-American was also earned first-team All-Big 12 honors. Tyson started nine games and led ASU with 61 receptions, 711 receiving yards (11.7 per), 8 receiving TDs.
Here’s a look at the latest NFL Draft projections and profile for Tyson.
"Learning from Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward helped unlock Tyson’s production and elevated his draft stock. He’s added size and improved his route running over the last two years, showing he can align at all three receiver spots. He occasionally rushes the route but has the short-area quickness and contested-catch toughness to find chain-moving grabs in high-leverage moments.
"He’s not a blazer but has enough speed to work down the field. Also, he has the ball skills and body control to win above the rim with timing on 50/50 throws. Scouts say he puts in the time to absorb knowledge and hone his craft. A history of injuries might explain inconsistent competitiveness as a run blocker in 2025. The wiring, versatility and finishing talent point to a WR1 ceiling."
