The Miami Dolphins have two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft following the trade of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. In a bid to find Waddle's replacement, Dolphins General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan showed heightened interest in Jordyn Tyson, attending his individual workout. Tyson, a 21-year-old former three-star recruit from Allen High School in Texas, had a notable college career at Colorado and Arizona State, where he earned All-Big 12 honors twice. Over four seasons, he caught 158 passes for 2,282 yards and 22 touchdowns. With the Dolphins lacking depth at wide receiver after releasing Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tyson could become their top target, allowing other receivers like Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert to take on more manageable roles. Experts project Tyson to be selected in the top half of the first round, making him a key prospect for Miami.
