The New Orleans Saints have selected Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night. The selection adds a dynamic playmaker to the Saints' offense as they look to bolster their receiving corps for the upcoming season, according to the official draft announcement.
Jordyn Tyson enters the professional ranks after a standout collegiate career with the Sun Devils, where he earned a reputation as an explosive vertical threat. His arrival in New Orleans was met with immediate celebration from his family, including his older brother, Jaylon Tyson.

The Tyson brothers now join an elite group of siblings playing at the highest level of professional sports simultaneously. For the New Orleans Saints, the addition of the Arizona State product adds depth to the receiving room.
