Tyson's Injury History Clouds NFL Draft Prospects

On March 24, Jordan Tyson remains a top-wide receiver prospect for the upcoming NFL draft,

often mocked in the top 15 picks despite a long history of injuries.

Teams like the Los Angeles Rams, sitting at the 13th spot, see his talent in size as

6-2, 203 pounds as they fit for their third receiver need.

But his durability questions make him a risky bet right now.

Recent reports confirm Tyson's hamstring strain from last October is still nagging him.

He skipped workouts at the NFL Combine and won't show up for heirs on the state pro day

on March 27.

Scouts note the injury flared up during training and they haven't seen him play since

late November.

His track record adds to the worry, with setbacks in every college season, including a major

knee issue as a freshman at Colorado, a broken collarbone, as a junior, and multiple handshring

problems that cost him games last year.

Unlike some prospects who bounce back quickly, Tyson's issues linger longer than expected for

that kind of strain.

For the Rams, drafting a high-first round pick means wanting instant impact, not rehab

time.

Comparisons to pass injury prone receivers like Jackson Smith-Injigba highlight the gamble,

though Tyson's resume isn't as dominant.

Alternatives like McCye Lemon offer safer production if available.

As draft season heats up, teams might push Tyson's stock down further, opening trade-back

options for the Rams to snag him later, while grabbing extra.

It takes to offset the health risks.
