Jordyn Tyson's Draft Stock: Injury Concerns, Eagles Fit

0:00On April 8th, Jordan Tyson from Arizona State looks like a top wide receiver prospect for the 2026 NFL draft, standing 6-2 and 209 pounds with hands that turn, catches into touchdowns. He put up big numbers last year, 61 receptions for 711 yards and 8 scores, even when defense is keyed on him. But a hamstring injury sidelined him late season and wrecked his pre-draft testing. Earlier this year, he started Hata Colorado under Deon Sanders, then exploded at Arizona State in 2024 with 75 catches, 1,111 yards and 10 touchdowns. That momentum carried over despite the injury cutting his 2025 games short to just 9. Scouts are buzzing with concern now, ranking him as the number 4 receiver on some boards, per ESPN's Matt Miller. He skipped most combined drills and pro-day speed tests, so teams question his burst and cuts post injury that has his stock sliding toward the back half of the first round.

1:01Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles should jump if he falls into the 20s. He's perfect insurance if AJ Brown bolts after a rough 2025, brings nasty yards after catch at 4.3 per grab and fits on it. Rookie deal around 19 million over 4 years to balance Jalen Hertz' massive contract. Tyson has positional workouts set for April 17th, so expect clarity soon. If he proves that hamstrings history, he could lock down a spot as a day one starter, whatever he lands. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
