Canal Street Chronicles on Jordyn Tyson

Tyson's elite college skills and 8th overall draft capital support a 1,000-yard rookie ceiling.

The Saints selected Arizona State receiver Jordan Tyson with the 8th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. When he played, Tyson was a superstar at the collegiate level, possessing elite ball skills, route running, and run-after-catch ability. In the best-case scenario, there is a world where both Tyson and Chris Olave each surpass 1,000 receiving yards in 2026, a feat the Saints haven't accomplished in a decade. The best-case scenario for the offense would necessitate both Olave and Tyson becoming an elite receiver duo.
