The Saints add to their WRs room at No. 8, selecting wideout Jordyn Tyson out of Arizona State. Here’s everything you need to know.

2022 (Colorado): (9 games played, 3 starts), 22 receptions, 470 receiving yards, 4 receiving touchdowns

2024 (Arizona State): (12 games played, 12 starts), 75 receptions, 1,101 receiving yards, 10 receiving touchdowns, Third-Team All-American, First-Team All-Big 12, Big 12 Newcomer of the Year

2025 (Arizona State): (9 games played, 9 starts), 61 receptions, 711 receiving yards, 8 receiving touchdowns, Third-Team All-American, First-Team All-Big 12

Tyson is a physically dominant wideout who has fought through a number of injuries throughout his career to still be considered among the top players at his position in this year’s draft. Despite missing half a dozen games from 2024-2025, Tyson earned back-to-back Third-Team All-American honors after totaling 1,800+ receiving yards and 18 total touchdowns. He also helped the Sun Devils to their first ever appearance in the College Football Playoff. Tyson will thrive early with a quarterback who is willing to trust his young wideout to make plays and is willing to gut through the drawbacks that may come with his skillset early on.
