I'm Kevin Ostriker, joined now by Ross Jackson from Lockedon Saints.

And Ross, states could have gone a lot of ways with the eighth overall pick.

They decide on Jordan Tyson, a very talented wider receiver from Arizona State. How surprised were you that this was the direction in Orleans went in? Yeah, I was very surprised. I was also surprised just with the way that the board fell with Jordan Tyson, Ohio State Safety, Caleb Downs, and edge rusher out of Miami, Rubin Bain Jr., all on the board there for the Saints at number eight overall. I wasn't sure exactly which direction that they were going to go. But, I mean,

it's pretty logical the way that they went about this. You have the opportunity here with a new

offensive head coach in town and a quarterback that everyone is very excited and optimistic about

to add another weapon and another piece to that New Orleans Saints offense, which was lacking playmakers last year. And now all of a sudden after a free agency that also

included adding running back Travis A. Chan Jr. Now you add Jordan Tyson. I don't think that this

is going to be an offense lacking for some fun in 2026. Now, we all know how talented of a player Tyson is, but one of the things that concerns people

is the injury history.

How concerned are you with that?

And for Jordan Tyson, what does he bring to the table alongside Chris Alive and particularly

for a year two quarterback to have the shot?

Yeah, looking at the injury thing first.

I mean, look, it's, you'd have to be foolish to say that there's not some concern here

when it comes to a guy that had an ACL, MCL, PCL, compound injury all the way back in 2022,

the cost Miss 2020 season.
