Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson Is Hosting a Private Workout Six Days Before the Draft and His Injury History Is the Only Thing Standing Between Him and the First Round
Jordyn Tyson is running out of time to prove he's healthy enough to be a first-round pick. The Arizona State wide receiver scheduled a workout for April 17, just six days before the 2026 NFL Draft, because he missed testing at the NFL Scouting Combine in February with a hamstring injury. That's a red flag that's already got scouts talking.
From First-Round Lock to Second-Round Question Mark
This is what makes Tyson's situation so frustrating for teams that initially loved him. Before the injury news, he was locked in as a first-round prospect. Now? He could slide into the second round in a draft absolutely loaded with wide receivers. Last season he caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in just nine games while dealing with soft-tissue issues. Compare that to 2024, when he had 75 receptions for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns, and you can see what scouts think he's capable of when he's on the field.

The Details That Could Tank His Stock
Tyson is a 6-foot-2, 203-pound target with smaller hands for his frame. He missed the Arizona State pro day on March 27 because of the hamstring, so 31 teams showed up and he wasn't even there to work. That's a killer when you're already dealing with injury skepticism. A redshirt junior, he'll be 22 in August. His brother Jaylon, a 2024 NBA first-round pick taken 20th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers, might have the bigger resume right now if Jordyn doesn't nail this April 17 workout.
The clock is ticking. Six days to convince NFL teams that his injury history is behind him.
