Giants buzzing hard about grabbing Arizona State, wide receiver Jordan Tyson, with the fifth overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Analysts call him the top talent at his position, with size, speed, and route running skills that make him a nightmare matchup. But his injury rap sheet is long torn ACO, MCO, and PCO and his left knee back in 2022, broken collarbone in 2024, and hamstring woes last year. He skipped the scouting combine in his school's pro day over health concerns, but last Friday he finally put on a private workout. Giants GM Joe show and showed up, and word is Tyson looked explosive and healthy, showing off that twitch and leap everyone loves from his game tape. Plenty of talking heads are hyped.

Draft nights Thursday, so we'll see if New York pulls the trigger or lets someone else roll the dice on Tyson's boom or bust potential.
