Tyson's Injury History Clouds NFL Draft Prospects

0:00On March 24, Jordan Tyson remains a top-wide receiver prospect for the upcoming NFL draft, often mocked in the top 15 picks despite a long history of injuries. Teams like the Los Angeles Rams, sitting at the 13th spot, see his talent in size as 6-2, 203 pounds as they fit for their third receiver need. But his durability questions make him a risky bet right now. Recent reports confirm Tyson's hamstring strain from last October is still nagging him. He skipped workouts at the NFL Combine and won't show up for heirs on the state pro day on March 27. Scouts note the injury flared up during training and they haven't seen him play since late November.
