Jordyn Tyson has chosen which jersey number he'll be wearing with the New Orleans Saints. The rookie first-round pick will be wearing the same single-digit number he used at Arizona State: No. 0, which he confirmed during a Wednesday appearance on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams. We wondered if this was the path he would take -- Tyson didn't pick up the No. 0 jersey until he got to ASU, having worn No. 4 in high school and during his first year of college at Colorado. But he's embracing the number he used while playing his best football.
No disrespect to Ugo Amadi, but it'll be cool to see a heavy contributor using No. 0 rather than a practice squad safety who didn't get into many games. Amadi became the first Saints player to wear No. 0 in decades when the NFL revised jersey number rules back in 2023, but he just didn't get much time to shine.
That won't be the cases with Tyson. He's going to start alongside Chris Olave on top of the wide receivers depth chart and draw a ton of targets as soon as he gets on the field. He gets open easily, makes plays through contact, and picks up yards after the catch more often than anyone else in the receiving corps. And he's still got plenty of room to grow as a 21-year old rookie.
