ASU WR Jordyn Tyson Drafted by New Orleans Saints in First Round of NFL Draft
The Saints added a 6-foot-2 target who caught 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024 despite injury concerns.
- On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the New Orleans Saints selected Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with the eighth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster the offense for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough.
- Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 203 pounds, Tyson produced 158 catches, 2,282 yards, and 23 total touchdowns over 33 college games, offering versatility to line up outside or in the slot.
- Significant injuries, including torn knee ligaments and a broken collarbone, impacted Tyson's availability throughout his college career, forcing him to miss 17 games and raising durability concerns.
- Tyson joins a receiving corps headlined by four-year veteran Chris Olave, while head coach Kellen Moore will integrate him into the offense despite analysts noting he requires refinement.
- The selection validates the Saints' commitment to building around Shough, who exceeded expectations as a rookie; if healthy, Tyson represents a high-potential building block for the passing game.
