The personnel shake-up at receiver continues to shape the room. The Packers lost starter Romeo Doubs in free agency and dealt Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles, trimming depth after investing last year in Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.
Among the players drawing interest is Jordyn Tyson, a former Arizona State standout who is projected as a first-round talent in 2026. Tyson drew the attention of more than 20 teams during a recent workout attended by NFL scouts, including the Packers.
Tyson possesses the size (6-foot-2, 203 pounds) and versatility to line up at any receiver spot, and he has shown notable development in route-running and explosiveness since 2024. However, his injury history is a concern, including a 2022 knee injury (ACL, MCL, PCL) and a collarbone fracture in 2024, along with recurring hamstring issues.
If healthy, Tyson is viewed as a high-upside game changer. He posted strong late-season production in 2024 (36 receptions for 543 yards and five touchdowns in the final four games) and averaged over 100 yards in several 2025 outings. Pro Football Focus has suggested Tyson could develop into Pro Bowl- or All-Pro-caliber play, provided injury risk is managed.
Despite Tyson’s potential, the likelihood of him slipping to Green Bay remains slim. The Packers hold the No. 52 overall pick in the second round, far from a top-20 projection for Tyson, making a direct fall unlikely. A move into the first round would require a steep, multi-pick investment, while a second-round slide could still be costly but more plausible; however, the team may prioritize other positions if Tyson stays off the board.
In any case, Green Bay’s decision likely extends beyond Tyson alone. With Reed and Watson entering the final years of their contracts and Golden and Williams waiting in the wings, plus the addition of Skyy Moore in free agency, the Packers could favor addressing cornerback or other needs in the early rounds while keeping Tyson on their radar for future opportunities.
