Jordyn Tyson has a household name backing him, and it’s one Ravens fans are familiar with.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward was Tyson’s receivers coach at Arizona State for the past two seasons. Ward, a four-time Pro Bowler with more than 12,000 career receiving yards, knows what it takes to succeed at the next level. He sees the same fire in Tyson that he had as a player.
“He wants to win at everything,” Ward said of Tyson, via FOX 10’s Blake Niemann. “The mindset is there. He’s competitive. He hates losing. If he doesn’t win on a one-on-one rep, it eats at him. It’s all about perfection for him.”
That competitive spirit could come to Baltimore.
Tyson is the most common first-round wide receiver linked to the Ravens in mock drafts. After not participating at the Combine due to a hamstring injury, Tyson held a workout for teams Friday afternoon.
