The spotlight was on Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson during his long-awaited pro day, and the NFL took notice. With more than half the league's teams in attendance, including two general managers, the workout was a major event for the promising prospect.
For the New Orleans Saints, this was a key scouting opportunity. Having missed the NFL Combine and ASU's initial pro day due to a hamstring injury, Tyson finally showcased his skills live. The Saints' presence is no surprise; they've been tracking him closely since last summer, attending his season opener, making multiple practice visits, and hosting him for a formal top-30 visit at their facility.
The buzz in the building was palpable. One source told ESPN that Tyson displayed the "twitch, explosiveness and leaping ability" that made him a standout, confirming his health and athleticism. With his stock rising, there's chatter he could be the first receiver selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, potentially landing with a team like the New York Giants at pick No. 5.
While the Saints hold the 8th pick and are clearly interested, Tyson's impressive showing means they may face stiff competition to secure his game-changing speed and playmaking ability for their offense.
