Overview
- Tyson, who heard his name Thursday during Round 1 in Pittsburgh, broke down in tears and fell to a knee before hugging commissioner Roger Goodell.
- Multiple outlets report the New Orleans Saints selected the Arizona State wideout at No. 8, though at least one report lists the Cleveland Browns at No. 9 after a trade down.
- Jaylon Tyson, his older brother and a Cleveland Cavaliers wing, was playing a playoff game when the pick came through, and coach Kenny Atkinson said the team would make sure he got the news.
- Tyson produced 1,812 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns over two college seasons, and Saints coach Kellen Moore praised his versatility even as past injuries shaped pre-draft questions.
- Draft-night trades and live TV updates can create brief mismatches in pick attributions, which helps explain why some reports list different teams and slots for Tyson.
