Jordyn Tyson: Saints Select Wide Receiver Jordyn Tyson Eighth Overall

The New Orleans Saints have selected Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tyson was viewed as one of the top wide receiver prospects in this year's class. Tyson began his college career at Colorado before moving to Arizona State, where he spent his final three campaigns. In his first season with the Sun Devils, Tyson appeared in just three games and did not catch any passes. Over his final two seasons, Tyson would be limited to just 21 games but would make a massive impact, totaling 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns on 136 catches. He totaled a career-best 10 touchdowns during the 2024 campaign. Tyson is credited with having elite footwork and high-end ability to catch off-target passes. Tyson will likely slide in as the No. 2 option in an up-and-coming New Orleans offense that is led by second-year QB Tyler Shough. For fantasy, Tyson could see his workload limited, sharing the field with Chris Olave and running back Travis Etienne Jr.
