Should Browns Consider Drafting Brother of Cleveland Star?

This year, there has been one name that continues to dominate the Cleveland sports landscape in second-year small forward Jaylon Tyson.

The former 2024 first-round pick out of Cal has been a key piece to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ offense, averaging 13.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. But what if there was another Tyson that could help the Cleveland Browns’ offense in 2026?

Jordyn Tyson, the younger brother of Jaylon, has quickly become a hot name within the 2026 NFL Draft class. After originally beginning his career at Colorado, the star wide receiver decided to take his talents to Arizona State for the 2024 college football season. The move would eventually pay off for the Sun Devils, as Tyson recorded 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns during the team’s playoff run.

His incredible campaign last season put him on the radar of many NFL scouts, but with Tyson only being a sophomore at the time, he would need to spend an extra season at the college level before entering the draft. And prior to the 2025 season, Tyson was the consensus No. 1 wide receiver prospect.

While he was unable to replicate the production from his sophomore season, Tyson still managed to tally 711 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 61 catches. The dip in production was partly due to him playing in nine games, along with the Sun Devils’ starting quarterback, Sam Leavitt, playing in just seven games.

Now, general manager Andrew Berry has an opportunity to bring another Tyson into the city of Cleveland this offseason, making for a new brother duo for fans to cheer for next year.

At 6-foot-2, 200 lbs., Tyson possesses a terrific frame that allows him to be physical at the catch point. In addition to his strong frame, the young wide receiver is a polished route runner who can win at all three levels of the field.

There were, however, some concerns about his drops heading into this season after having eight in 2024. Luckily, Tyson cleaned up the drops and finished his last college season with just one.

When looking at the upcoming draft, the Browns are in a perfect spot to land the talented playmaker with the No. 6 pick. But the question now becomes whether or not the struggling franchise should pull the trigger on Tyson.

The Browns could use a new, young wide receiver in the 2026 draft, but there is one name that could throw a wrench in these plans: Carnell Tate. The former Ohio State Buckeyes’ standout pass catcher was electric as the secondary option, racking up 875 yards and nine touchdowns on 51 catches.

If Tate is still on the board when the Browns are on the clock, there should be no doubt in Berry’s mind that the talented Ohio State receiver should be the pick. However, if the New York Giants decide to take Tate one pick before Cleveland, Tyson could be a perfect option within the top 10.
