Report: Saints locker room fired up to add wide receiver Jordyn Tyson
The New Orleans Saints selected Jordyn Tyson at pick No. 8 in 2026, and their locker room was excited about adding him to the fold.
One of the highest drafted New Orleans Saints wide receivers came during the 2026 NFL Draft, as they brought in Arizona State wideout Jordyn Tyson to pair up with Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele. Giving Tyler Shough even more weapons to work with and moving the depth chart to be more favorable at the position are both huge positives for the team as they continue to build under Kellen Moore. Shortly after the selection happened, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.

Players are fired up to get another weapon on offense. — Nick Underhill (@nick_underhill) April 24, 2026 Kellen Moore has been able to build a great culture in New Orleans during his year as the head coach already, and it seems his help in the draft department is also working wonders for the morale of the offensive unit. Odds are, now we will see a shift to defense, after the additions of Tyson, David Edwards, and Travis Etienne already this offseason.
That being said, it all comes down to the best player available and position of need combo rather than just one or the other, so if someone with immense talent falls, they may opt to go that direction. We will see which direction they opt to go in as Day 2 rolls around, pending a trade back in.
