The NFL is moving full speed toward the 2026 NFL Draft. Teams have completed their Top-30 visits, started offseason workouts, and are now finalizing their draft boards.
One of the most polarizing prospects is Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson. He offers elite talent but carries a concerning injury history.

He has suffered significant injuries over the past few seasons, leaving teams to question his durability at the next level. His decision to skip drills at both the NFL Combine and his pro day only added to those concerns.
Tyson addressed those questions by holding a private workout for scouts. Reports indicate the session went very well, and he now appears to be gaining positive momentum.
On Friday, teams reportedly came away impressed with his performance. Tyson may have boosted his stock back into the top 10 of the NFL Draft.

That is exactly the kind of development Tyson’s camp wanted. Few factors can damage a prospect’s stock more than medical concerns or a questionable injury history.
Tyson has dealt with a hamstring injury throughout the draft process, which may have impacted how teams evaluated him. In response, he and his camp organized Friday’s workout to give teams a closer look.

It remains unclear whether this surge reflects genuine draft positioning or a short-term reaction to the workout. Teams rarely reveal their true evaluations, often keeping their draft boards confidential to avoid tipping off competitors.
Regardless, Tyson showcased both his ability and his willingness to compete. By stepping up and performing in a private setting, he demonstrated that he can deliver when healthy.
The question now is whether that performance will be enough to secure a top-10 selection in next week’s NFL Draft.
