Miami, February 8: The Miami Dolphins have long enjoyed a thrilling receiving duo with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. However, with Hill likely moving on in 2026, the team is looking to revamp its receiving corps. One exciting prospect is Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State.
Tyson, the younger brother of Cleveland Cavaliers first-round pick Jaylon Tyson, emerged as a standout player in 2024 and entered the 2025 season as a strong contender for the Biletnikoff Award. Despite a hamstring injury that sidelined him for four games in 2025, the 6’2″ receiver showcased enough talent to be considered the most dynamic pass catcher in this draft class.
- Position: WR
- Height: 6’2″
- Weight: 200 pounds
Fit for Miami
New Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan emphasized the importance of building a solid roster. He stated, “We’ve all seen teams that go about it, maybe in a questionable manner and you get a really good player at quarterback, but he can’t stay healthy because he’s getting killed or he doesn’t have anybody to throw to.”
While bolstering the offensive line is crucial, the Dolphins cannot afford to overlook their receiving options, especially with only Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tahj Washington, and Theo Wease Jr. on the roster.
The question remains: Should they use a first-round pick to address this need? Although the Dolphins may hesitate to invest heavily in a position already featuring Waddle, Tyson is projected to be a top 10 pick. If he remains available at No. 11, he could be too valuable to pass up.
Bottom Line
Tyson is a versatile receiver with the speed and precision to create separation and stretch the field. His athleticism and catching ability make him a formidable option in one-on-one situations.
However, concerns linger regarding his injury history, which has caused him to miss games throughout his college career. Ultimately, if Tyson is still available after the top 10 picks, the Dolphins might seize the opportunity to establish another dynamic receiving duo.
