Tyson has a good all-around game that has few holes. While primarily an X-WR, he lined up all over the field with significant reps as both the Y and Z receiver. His release is NFL-ready with varying cadences and jabs that take advantage of the defender’s leverage. His combination of size and footwork allow him to work through press, using his off-hand when needed. His footwork at the top of his route is equally impressive with the ability to sink his hips and make quick cuts while having the savvy to set defenders up and force them to lean the wrong way.

Tyson shows the ability to attack all 3 levels of the defense, but is best on the intermediate level as a chunk-gainer. He has strong hands and limited his concentration drops in 2025 after struggling some in 2024. He has very good body control and combines that with his leaping ability and body positioning to win more than his fair share of contested balls. There can be an over-reliance on winning these balls as a high amount of balls thrown his way were contested, and defenders with better timing and length limited his effectiveness at times.

Tyson is also prone to reaching with one hand in these situations and is slow to get his second hand up, resulting in lower percentage chances. He is a very clutch player who shows up big on 3rd downs and in the red zone. His physical nature gives QBs better odds when he is covered as he can draw PI calls anywhere on the field. He has good sideline awareness and footwork when operating in tight spaces. Tyson is able to make plays in the middle of the field, but does look a little hesitant at times to take shots from defenders on crossing routes. He does not offer much after the catch as he lacks elusiveness or true pull-away speed. He falls forward and has the strength to pick up a couple extra yards, but most of his damage is done before the catch. His overall game is smooth throughout with nuanced footwork, battle-tested hands, and a clutch gene that combine for a reliable receiving option.

Tyson does not take running plays off and is willing to mix it up in the run game. He takes pride in this aspect and has the positioning, size, and temperament to seal off defenders. He is not afraid to play near the box and offers the same level of enthusiasm when blocking for a screen as well. Tyson was given the ball quickly at the collegiate level to get the ball in his hands, but his playmaking ability is before and at the catch point, not after. He is best used as a blocker in the run game with the occasional jet sweep mixed in.

Tyson projects as a starting outside receiver at the next level who fits best as a Z-WR in a sideline-heavy role. There are minimal weaknesses in his game, but there are concerns about consistently separating from a top CB if left alone. His ability to body smaller defenders offers more value when paired with a slot receiver. There is a serious injury history present with multiple games missed every season, all with different injuries. On 3rd downs, he offers alignment versatility, but is best on the outside with intermediate routes where he can become a consistent 3rd-down threat. His size, speed, and temperament would make for a core ST player if needed.
