New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill reports that Saints WR Jordyn Tyson’s movement skills and route running “looked every bit as advertised” at the first day of rookie minicamp.

Underhill notes that the session only lasted about an hour, and Tyson was practicing alongside players who are “just hoping to get a chance to play in the league or stay in the league,” so the fact that he stood out is unsurprising. That said, it’s still great to hear that Tyson is hitting the ground running. Underhill also said Tyson “plays bigger on film than he looks in person,” complimenting Tyson’s play with the ball in the air. We expect the positive drumbeat to continue for the No. 8 overall pick in this year’s draft.
