Chiefs Eyeing Tyson: Draft Experts Buzz

0:00It's March 25, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Kansas News Today, local news powered by AI. Draft experts are buzzing about the Kansas City Chiefs, potentially grabbing wide receiver Jordan Tyson from Arizona State, with their 9th overall. Ehm, pick. Field Yates, who once worked with the Chief Scouting Team, mocked Tyson to them this week, bucking talk that they would skip receivers or offensive. Tackles early, Tyson stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 203 pounds, making him a big target with explosive skills. Over his college career, he averaged 14.4 yards per catch, and in the recent season, he hauled in 75 passes for 1000, 101 yards, and 10 touchdowns helping his team reach to playoffs. Injuries have dodged him, though, including major knee damage as a freshman and later issues with his collarbone and hamstring. Still, he suited up for 21 of 26 games across the last two seasons, showing real toughness. Meanwhile, smaller Speasters, like Missouri's Kevin Coleman, who clocked a 4.38 in the 40 yard dash, might interest Kansas City.

1:09Later in the draft as a return man or slot option, but Tyson's size in red zone upside fit perfectly with Patrick Mahomes. Experts like Mel Kiper ranked Tyson 9th on their boards, praising his production and character. The Chiefs will dig deep into his medicals, but if they buy in, he could be their top target come Draft Knight.
