The New Orleans Saints are making a strategic push to reclaim their top wide receiver status in the 2026 NFL Draft, with Arizona State’s Jordan Tyson emerging as a potential game-changer. Despite a history of serious injuries—including a devastating 2022 knee injury involving ACL, MCL, and PCL tears, plus a 2025 hamstring setback—Tyson is set to visit the Saints for a top 30 visit, giving the team critical access to medical evaluations. This visit isn’t about drills or routes; it’s about answering the single biggest question: can he stay healthy? If the Saints’ medical staff, led by Ted Rath, clears him, Tyson could vault back into the top tier of the draft. His elite physical traits—6'1
Jordan Tyson’s 2026 NFL Draft stock hinges entirely on passing medical evaluations after multiple serious injuries, including a 2022 knee injury involving ACL, MCL, and PCL tears.
The Saints are using a top 30 visit not to assess athleticism, but to conduct deep medical and physical evaluations, giving them exclusive access to Tyson’s health data.
If the Saints clear Tyson medically, they could select him as a top-tier wide receiver even if he’s not projected in the top 10, due to their comfort managing injury risk.
The Saints’ recent draft history shows a pattern of avoiding first-round offensive line picks despite past investments, making a high pick at guard or tackle unlikely in 2026.
Keldrick Falk, an Auburn edge rusher with elite athleticism but inconsistent production, could be a surprise first-round pick if the Saints bet on development over stats.

Jordan Tyson’s Medical Visit and Draft Reclamation
“If the Saints are comfortable with Jordan Tyson's medicals... and don't feel like there's a risk of re-injury, and believe that they can help to manage with Ted Rath and the medical staff... they could still be the team that says, yeah, we want that player.”
Why the Saints Won’t Draft an Offensive Lineman in the First Round
Despite past investments in offensive line, the Saints are unlikely to select an offensive lineman in the first round due to depth at tackle, lack of need, and a strategic focus on skilled position players.
Keldrick Falk: The Surprise Edge Rusher Candidate
“The work ethic and the dedication to the game of football completely lapsed that of Marcus Davenport's. The love for the game, all of that that he has, the desire to be great... he's an entirely different player than Marcus Davenport.”
The Real Meaning of Top 30 Visits
Top 30 visits are not always about top players—they’re often used to evaluate medical concerns, off-field issues, or players from smaller schools. The Saints are using them more strategically than in the past.
“the work ethic and the dedication to the game of football completely lapsed that of Marcus Davenport's. The love for the game, all of that that he has, the desire to be great, the desire to develop change, the work that he puts in, the hours that he puts in. He's an entirely different player than a Marcus Davenport in that area of the”
“You're still wanting to build this defense for Brandon Staley. You're still wanting to build this offense around Tyler Shuck for Kellen Moore.”
“The Saints have very much changed the way that they're using these 30 visits with Kellen Moore now at the helm. They're doing a lot more 30 visits with players that are expected to go in the first round.”
