Jordyn Tyson, a top wide receiver prospect from Arizona State, has an active medical concern that may affect his draft position. Despite the Detroit Lions having a solid WR lineup, Tyson's injury could lead to him being overlooked in the upcoming NFL draft.
The state of the WR position is extremely solid in terms of talent and health for the Lions. Could a top WR talent still tempt the team in the upcoming draft? Jordyn Tyson is considered possibly the top WR prospect. However, he has an active medical concern that could drop him in the draft.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Jordyn Tyson:

Projected round 1. #21 on Daniel Jeremiah big board March 5.
Concern level 6/10
A hamstring that has been lingering for multiple months raises a lot of questions for Tyson. Is the hamstring hiding a more serious injury? Is the hamstring just an excuse to hide poor athletic testing numbers? Are there any work ethic or motivation issues that could have prolonged the recovery?
He reportedly has a private pro day scheduled on April 17 where he will be doing positional work only. A limited workout can only partially assuage concerns.
The other main issue is his major knee injury in 2022 which could have residuals due to cartilage damage. The collarbone fracture is of minimal concern with likely no residuals.
Tyson finished college with 158 receptions for 2282 yards.
