The San Francisco 49ers’ selection of receiver Brandon Aiyuk with the No. 25 pick in the 2020 NFL draft was the last instance of an Arizona State Sun Devil going off the board on Day 1. Wideout Jordyn Tyson has the chance to end that six-year drought.
Tyson made a name for himself during the 2024 season with 75 receptions for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns to help the Sun Devils reach the Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff before missing the postseason due to a collarbone injury.
He returned for his redshirt junior campaign, where he recorded 628 yards and eight touchdowns on 57 catches over the first seven games before a nagging hamstring issue caused him to sit out three of the team’s five final contests.

No. 6 overall, Cleveland Browns
The Browns have the second-worst team receiving grade in the NFL this season and didn’t have a single wide receiver place higher than 100th in PFF grade. Tyson would immediately become the top weapon for whoever’s playing quarterback for Cleveland and has an 89.5 PFF receiving grade over the last two seasons.
CBS Sports
No. 24 overall, Cleveland Browns
Tyson is an explosive receiver with the size, speed and catch radius to win at all three levels. A smooth hands-catcher, he consistently makes contested and high-point grabs look effortless while creating surprising separation at the top of his routes for his size. Tyson can hit top-end speed in just a few steps and shows the type of short-area quickness reserved for smaller, shiftier WRs. He’s also an asset in the screen game, making him a dynamic threat both outside and from the slot.
The Athletic
No. 7 overall, Washington Commanders
When healthy, Tyson is the most complete receiver in this class. The only holes in his game are on his career injury report. He blocks, adjusts to poor throws, runs crisp routes and wins in the air. He’s everything Jayden Daniels needs to take the next step in his development.
Bleacher Report
No. 11 overall, Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins offense underwent a massive evolution since Mike McDaniel became the head coach, but it still needs another significant threat at wide receiver.
…
Whoever takes over will need another weapon on the outside to complement Jaylen Waddle, with Tyreek Hill likely on his way out as well. Jordyn Tyson adds a different dynamic.
ESPN
No. 6 overall, Cleveland Browns
Unless they want to package their two-first round picks to move up, the Browns won’t be able to pick a quarterback. But they do need pass catchers to join breakout rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and veteran wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. Tyson is a creative route runner who can make catches outside the strike zone with his strong hands at the catch point. He’s also capable of making big plays after the catch.
Yahoo! Sports
No. 6 overall, Cleveland Browns
The Browns need to stop messing around at wide receiver and give either Shedeur Sanders or a different starting quarterback a true go-to-all over the field, both in the slot and outside, in Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s vein, only lacking the hyphen.
