Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson remains projected as a first-round pick ahead of the NFL draft, but his medical history is likely to remain a major part of his evaluation process.
Tyson has missed more than 15 games since 2022 and has dealt with a series of significant injuries, including a major knee injury involving torn ACL, MCL and PCL ligaments. He also suffered a collarbone fracture in 2024 and dealt with lingering hamstring issues during the 2025 season.
Despite the durability concerns, Tyson has continued to produce at a high level when available. Still, the amount of missed time, roughly 48% of games over that span, raises legitimate questions for teams weighing his upside against his injury history.
Tyson’s hamstring issues impacted parts of his most recent season, and he did not participate in on-field workouts or medical testing at the NFL combine. He also did not take part in his Pro Day, opting instead to schedule a private workout one week before the draft.
Even with the medical concerns and limited pre-draft participation, Tyson is still widely viewed as a first-round talent because of his production and upside when healthy. His private workout could now become an important step in confirming his draft status as teams finalize their boards.
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, teams are doing more than just reviewing game tape; they're digging deep into medical histories. While talent is paramount, durability is critical in a league where physical attrition is a weekly reality. Several top prospects enter the draft with injury concerns that could affect their stock, especially as teams weigh short-term availability against long-term risk.
