Projected first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson will host a workout for NFL teams six days before the 2026 NFL Draft begins on April 17. The session comes amid concerns over his injury history. Tyson aims to demonstrate his health and skills after skipping workouts at the NFL combine and Arizona State's Pro Day.
Jordyn Tyson, a standout pass-catcher from Arizona State, notified NFL teams of the private workout, according to ESPN. The 6-foot-2, 203-pound receiver did not perform on-field drills at the NFL combine because of a hamstring injury and also sat out Arizona State's Pro Day. CBS Sports ranks him as the No. 23 overall prospect and No. 5 wide receiver in the 2026 draft class. Over the past two years, no Big 12 player has more receptions than Tyson's combined 136 catches, including 75 for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, and 61 for 711 yards and eight scores in nine games this season. Two-time first-team All-Big 12 selection Tyson transferred from Colorado, where he suffered a 2022 tear of his ACL, MCL and PCL. He broke his collarbone in 2024 and dealt with the recent hamstring issue. Officials emphasize availability as key, but Tyson seeks to prove his talent outweighs the risks. Jermod McCoy of Tennessee recently succeeded with a strong pro day after an ACL tear, running a reported 4.37-second 40-yard dash and posting a 38-inch vertical leap, boosting his top-10 potential. Mock drafts vary: CBS Sports' Mike Renner projects Tyson at No. 24 to the Cleveland Browns, while Ryan Wilson has him at No. 21 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. DraftKings lists +260 odds for a top-10 selection and +285 to be the first wide receiver drafted, behind Ohio State's Carnell Tate.
