Only one team makes sense for Jordyn Tyson

Arizona State star WR Jordyn Tyson's draft stock may have taken a massive bump just days before the 2026 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-2 pass catcher had reps from at least 20 teams attend a private workout, and, according to ESPN's Matt Miller, he shut down all injury concerns.

"I think Jordyn Tyson goes much higher than earlier expected. Teams are comfortable with the INJ history. Conversation for him starts at 5 but he's off the board no later than 16," Miller shared on X. 

Considering that, there's no way the Cleveland Browns should let him slide past No. 6.

Cleveland Browns must draft Jordyn Tyson

The Browns have a glaring need for a playmaking wide receiver, and while they might have zeroed in on Ohio State's Carnell Tate, Tyson's ceiling is higher.

He's bigger, more physical, and a better playmaker; he might be the best wide receiver in this class by a margin.

Of course, he also comes with major injury concerns. He suffered an ACL, MCL and PCL injury as a freshman in Colorado, and then sustained a season-ending collarbone injury as a junior at Arizona State.

He's also missed time with a hamstring injury, including the NFL Scouting Combine and his pro day.

That said, it looks like teams are finally comfortable with his medicals, and his ties to the Browns might go beyond the gridiron.

Tyson's brother, Jaylon, plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he's already campaigned for Jordyn to join him and be roommates again.

The Browns might want to play it safe and go with Tate, a very good prospect with no injury concerns. But if they're willing to swing for the fences and find the most talented pass-catching weapon in this class, then there's no way they will let Tyson slip.
