Smoke rising: Are New York Giants targeting Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson?

Rumors and speculation linking the New York Giants to Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson are gaining traction ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, with multiple league insiders pointing to a growing connection between the team and the rising prospect.

Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, The Ringer's Todd McShay suggested the interest "might be real," adding that any team enamored with Tyson may need to act early. He specifically noted the possibility of the New Orleans Saints selecting Tyson at No. 8, potentially forcing the Giants to prioritize him before their later pick.

"The Giants -- that thing might be real," McShay said. "And if you love Jordyn Tyson. . . you can't wait until No. 10 because Tyson could go at No. 8 to the Saints."

Additional reporting from Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post echoes that sentiment, while evaluations have consistently linked Tyson to New York.

The Giants have done extensive homework on the Arizona State standout, including strong representation at his pro day and continued contact throughout the pre-draft process.

Tyson's blend of route running, explosiveness, and production has made him one of the draft's fastest-rising receivers, and his reported rapport with the organization only fuels speculation. Getting a clean bill of health certainly didn't hurt.

With momentum building, the Giants could be positioning themselves to make a decisive move. As draft day approaches, Tyson remains firmly on their radar and, apparently, at No. 5 overall.
