The 2026 NFL Draft might have taken a huge turn with Jordyn Tyson‘s private workout. The New York Jets wanted him, but now they might face huge competition after his stock rose prominently.
According to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football Network, Jordyn Tyson will probably get top 10 looks. This would put Tyson as second or third-best wideout in the 2026 NFL Draft behind Carnell Tate.
Makai Lemon was poised to be the second WR taken and now Tyson could hijack that notion. Tyson was in the New York Jets‘ radar, but with his stock rising, the Jets might not get the chance to even be in play at drafting him.
Tyson’s workout impressed a lot
According to John McMullen of Sports Illustrated, the Eagles could be a highly interested team. With rumors of AJ Brown getting traded to the Patriots post June 1st, they could use a high-upside wide receiver like Tyson.
However, according to these reports, the Eagles would have to trade up quite a bit to get Tyson. Philadelphia has the 23rd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and Tyson might not get there according to Underhill’s report.
If healthy, Tyson could become a certified WR1
The biggest issue in Tyson’s scouting profile is his injury history. Tyson has a history of missing time due to hamstring, collarbone and knee injuries. However, if he manages to stay healthy, the team that drafts him will get a massive weapon.
He is very talented and could actually become one of the best receivers in the game. The upside is massive with Tyson. However, picking him is the definition of a ‘high-risk, high-reward‘ move.
