The New York Giants, actively seeking to bolster their receiving corps, are taking a close look at one of the draft's most intriguing enigmas. According to ESPN's Peter Schrager, the Giants are in attendance at a last-minute workout for Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who is finally healthy and cleared to perform just days before the draft.
On talent alone, Tyson is considered a potential top-10 pick, with some evaluators believing he could be the best receiver in either the 2025 or 2026 class. However, his draft stock is a classic high-risk, high-reward scenario, weighed down by a significant and lengthy injury history. After a devastating 2022 knee injury that tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL, Tyson missed the 2023 season. He then suffered a broken clavicle in 2024 and dealt with a hamstring issue in 2025, limiting his availability and causing him to miss key pre-draft events like the Combine.
This workout represents a critical final opportunity for Tyson to prove his health and elite athleticism to NFL teams. For the Giants, who hold the 5th overall pick, the evaluation is particularly fascinating. While a selection that high for a player with his medical record would be a bold gamble, analysts like Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post have suggested Tyson could be a prime target if New York trades back to acquire more draft capital. Schrager himself has even floated the possibility that a stellar workout could make Tyson the pick at number five, highlighting the tantalizing potential the Giants must weigh against the very real durability concerns.
