The next big pre-draft visit for the New Orleans Saints appears to be on the books.

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to visit the Saints ahead of the NFL Draft.

This will give New Orleans a chance to address the health and medical questions around the elite wide receiver with their own medical team.

Tyson has suffered a substantial knee injury during his freshman year at Colorado, a broken collarbone near the end of the 2024 Sun Devils playoff run and a hamstring injury during the 2025 season that sidelined him for the end of year and offseason pre-draft workouts thus far.

Getting clarity on some of those injuries, most specifically the recent hamstring issue, could be very informative for New Orleans heading into the draft. If all of the medicals check out well, Tyson could easily be in consideration with the No. 8 overall selection.

He’s the most dominant receiver in this year’s draft class and would bring an alpha X-receiver to the Saints’ position group.

In 2025, before his October injury, Tyson appeared in nine games and reeled in 61 receptions for 711 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches. In 2024, he topped 1,100 receiving yards and corralled 10 scoring receptions.

Tyson is a crisp and nuanced route-runner that can win in contested catch situations and pick up yards after the catch. When healthy, he’s been a big play waiting to happen, has proven he can be a top option in a passing game and has shown on multiple occasions that he has the potential to take over a game.

If his medicals check out and he performs well during his April 17 individual workout for teams, Tyson can quickly reclaim the crown as the draft’s top wideout.
