The NFL Combine has raised many rumors regarding the future of the top prospects in this year’s draft. While prospects begin to take the biggest step toward their NFL dreams, teams are getting more familiar with the players who could become the newest members of their franchises. The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of needs, and given their history, the draft will be a crucial step in revamping their roster for 2026.
Although it’s not their top need, there’s been talk around the Ravens adding a wide receiver in this year’s draft. They could do so early, too, which may lead them to Arizona State wideout Jordyn Tyson.
Tyson is in the conversation for the top-ranked wide receiver in the class, and he’s on Baltimore’s radar. He met with them during his Combine interviews and highlighted the dynamic pairing of Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers as an intriguing fit.

Tyson feels like the final piece to the Ravens’ offensive puzzle.
Jordyn Tyson could be the piece that Baltimore’s offense is missing
Throughout the Lamar Jackson era, the offense has consistently won by running the football and making timely, explosive plays through the air. The passing attack has leaned on tight ends and dynamic playmakers like Zay Flowers, who are dangerous in the open field. It’s obvious that Jackson and Flowers are one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in football, but they’ve missed that big-bodied physical threat at the wide receiver two spot. Jordyn Tyson could be that.
Tyson measured in at 6-foot-2, 203 pounds at the NFL Combine. He would immediately pose himself as potentially one of the best X wideouts that Jackson has ever played with. That’s not saying much given the lack of size that Jackson has had on the outside, but there’s a reason he's touted as one of the best prospects in the draft. He can truly do it all.
Obviously, Tyson brings the physicality. He’s an acrobat at the catch point with terrific ball skills and the ability to fight through contact and find the football. He also showcases some explosiveness in his routes. With a strong blend of size and suddenness, opposing cornerbacks are going to be on their heels on every single down.
The biggest concern with Tyson is his injury history. You can’t overlook it. He missed significant time through his college career, which included lower-body injuries to his knee and hamstring. The durability questions are a major red flag, and it’s the whole reason he’s even in the conversation at pick 14. Talent-wise, he’s a top-10 pick, maybe even top-five.
The Ravens could focus on the offensive line or pass rusher come draft time. Those needs are much more pressing. However, when it comes to talent, the wide receiver class may provide the most upside in this year’s draft, specifically when it comes to the top-three of Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Makai Lemon.
Ultimately, the possibility of adding Tyson to this Baltimore offense is tempting, and there's been talk of him being a fit. General manager Eric DeCosta tends to go with the best available player, and the Arizona State product could be that. Throw in the fact that the Ravens are expected to invest a lot more money in Lamar Jackson with his next contract, and it would make a ton of sense to maximize the offense in 2026 with a player of Tyson’s caliber.
