This week is about as good as it gets for the Tyson brothers.
Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson is expected to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. Jaylon Tyson, meanwhile, plays for a Cleveland Cavaliers team that's gotten off to a 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Raptors in the NBA playoffs.
The Cavs can take a decisive 3-0 lead tonight, around the same time Jordyn will be learning where he'll call his NFL home.
Born 20 months apart, Jordyn and Jaylon are lifelong best friends who competed against each other constantly during childhood. Iron clearly sharpened iron, as Cleveland selected Jaylon in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft while Jordyn is arguably the top wide receiver prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Jaylon made a huge leap in Year 2, upping his regular-season averages to 13.2 points and 5.1 rebounds after hardly seeing the floor as a rookie. He also shot a blistering 44.6% from 3-point range. While he hasn't played much in the playoffs yet, that could change on a dime.
Jordyn has dealt with injuries throughout his career, but when he's on the field, he's unguardable. His best season came in 2024, when he led the Sun Devils with 75 catches, 1,1101 yards and 10 touchdowns.
With the Cleveland Browns owning the 24th pick in the draft, all eyes will be on whether they reunite the Tyson brothers and give Shedeur Sanders a new offensive weapon under first-year coach Todd Monken.
