Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson Skips Combine Workouts With Hamstring Injury

His decision leaves medical checks, interviews, a spring pro day as the key evaluation windows for a receiver widely graded in Round 1.

Overview

  • Dane Brugler of The Athletic reported Tyson will not perform any on-field drills or testing at the NFL Scouting Combine due to an in-season hamstring injury.
  • Tyson will participate in measurements, team interviews and medical evaluations in Indianapolis rather than running or catching on the field.
  • Newsweek notes some analysts had placed him in the top five, though injury concerns could slide him toward the middle of the first round.
  • Analysts have compared the 6-foot-2, 200-pound target to Terry McLaurin and, in some evaluations, to CeeDee Lamb, pointing to refined routes, body control and contested-catch skills.
  • After totaling 158 receptions for 2,282 yards and 22 touchdowns at Arizona State, Tyson is expected to showcase for teams at ASU’s pro day later this spring.
