One of the most intriguing possibilities for the Buffalo Bills at pick No. 26<\/a> in the upcoming NFL Draft is wide receiver.<\/p>\n

Although the Bills traded for DJ Moore, Brandon Beane has already claimed<\/a> the team will continue to seek additional help at the position if it becomes available early in the draft. That could mean Jordyn Tyson falling to Buffalo at the bottom end of the first round.<\/p>\n

A recent mock draft<\/a> from\u00a0NFL Network\u2019s\u00a0Nick Shook has Tyson heading to Buffalo to boost a pass-catching corps that underperformed a season ago.<\/p>\n

A polarizing pick\"Jordyn<\/p>\n

Tyson was once considered a top-end first-round pick, but concerns regarding his injury history have led to his stock falling over the past few months. If he is to drop to the Bills, they may take a chance on the game-breaking wide receiver.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has the kind of big-play capability the Bills have lacked since they traded Stefon Diggs to Houston,\u201d wrote Shook.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-2, 203-pound target recorded 18 touchdown receptions over his final two collegiate seasons, in which he totaled over 1,800 yards receiving.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m a very quick player,\u201d said Tyson at the NFL Scouting Combine<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m a little twitched up.\u00a0\u2026\u00a0I feel like I can win on my feet in various ways, and I can set up defenders and win with my feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyson previously met with the Bills<\/a> at the combine, where he also discussed what he feels is his greatest strength as a wide receiver.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably route running,\u201d said Tyson. \u201cBut I feel like my hands are elite. I feel like my feel for the game is elite, but I\u2019m gonna have to say the route running.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing group\"Jordyn<\/p>\n

If the Bills drafted Tyson, he would join Khalil Shakir and Moore atop the team\u2019s pecking order at the position. Former second-round pick Keon Coleman is still around<\/a>, as are\u00a0a number of\u00a0other lesser options, but Tyson is projected as a WR1-level talent and would likely be a part of Buffalo\u2019s top trio.<\/p>\n

The question about the former Sun Devil is regarding his health. Tyson has dealt with knee injuries and other ailments throughout his career, which makes him a high-risk prospect entering the draft.<\/p>\n

With that said, he is confident he can be durable at the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play a physical sport, but yeah, I\u2019ve never had soft tissue injuries,\u201d said Tyson. \u201cI feel like if you look at my track history, after every injury, I came back better than ever, I feel like. So that\u2019s my answer right there.\u201d<\/p>\n

If he can remain on his feet, he should produce at a high rate. But that\u2019s an uncertainty entering the selection process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most intriguing possibilities for the Buffalo Bills at pick No. 26 in the upcoming NFL…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2048],"tags":[215,214,53,2086,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-862157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buffalo-bills","8":"tag-bills","9":"tag-buffalo","10":"tag-buffalo-bills","11":"tag-buffalobills","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116373666142484234","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
