It wasn\u2019t long ago that there were some experts who had Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson pegged as the No. 1 receiver<\/a> and a potential top 10-15 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

But, according to one draft analyst, his stock has taken a serious hit ahead of the three-day event later this month.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN\u2019s Matt Miller<\/a>, the word among scouts is that Tyson\u2019s stock has fallen and he is now viewed as the No. 4 wide receiver in this year\u2019s class and could be the victim of a draft slide.<\/p>\n

The reason why scouts are down on Tyson has to do with his hamstring injury<\/a> and the overall lack of looks he has given teams during the pre-draft process.<\/p>\n

Miller adds that Tyson will have an opportunity to work out for teams on April 1<\/a>7, which will be his final opportunity to bring his stock back up.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne player trending in the wrong direction leading up to the draft is Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson,\u201d Miller said. \u201cIn reviewing my grades with a handful of scouts, many remarked that Tyson\u2019s hamstring injury\u00a0and lack of predraft workouts could cause him to slide to the back half of the first round. Three scouts told me that Tyson ranks as the No. 4 receiver on their internal boards. He is scheduled to do positional work for NFL teams on April 17.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordyn Tyson\u2019s injury history\"\"<\/p>\n

Tyson suffered the aforementioned injury all the way back in October of last year and just can\u2019t seem to shake it.<\/p>\n

As a result, he wasn\u2019t able to take part in the NFL Scouting Combine or the Sun Devils\u2019 Pro Day on March 27.<\/p>\n

Tyson\u2019s hamstring woes aren\u2019t the only injury concern with him, though.<\/p>\n

The Arizona State product has serious durability concerns after he missed several games (17, to be exact, which was about 33% of his contests) during his college career with different injuries.<\/p>\n

Those injuries included a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in 2022, which also forced him to miss all but three games in 2023, and a broken clavicle in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What experts are saying\"\"<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Dane Brugler is high on Tyson\u2019s talent, but he also expressed concerns over the wideout\u2019s durability.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordyn Tyson\u2019s a little more difficult because of the durability factor, all the injuries he\u2019s been working through,\u201d Brugler explained<\/a>. \u201cAnd even into this draft process, it was a hamstring that bothered him throughout the year, and then it kind of spiked a little bit during training. He wasn\u2019t able to work out at the Combine. He\u2019s not gonna work out at the pro day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo he\u2019s a guy that\u2019s missed a lot of time over his four years in college,\u201d Brugler added. \u201cAnd it\u2019s hard to understand how much to factor that in. But based just on the tape, to me I see a guy like Stefon Diggs.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to raw talent, there is little concern there, as the 6-foot-2, 203-pound receiver has that in spades and a slide could lead to him being a massive steal.<\/p>\n

But no amount of talent is going to overshadow just how big of a risk Tyson will be for any team that drafts him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It wasn\u2019t long ago that there were some experts who had Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson pegged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":587477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[136109,64,63,147338,282179,593,42812,85,15203,50435],"class_list":{"0":"post-587476","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-arizona-state","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-jordyn-tyson","12":"tag-matt-miller","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nfl-teams","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-stefon-diggs","17":"tag-wide-receiver"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=587476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/587477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=587476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=587476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=587476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
