Fans love stories in sports. While the action on the field/court/pitch is the initial draw, interest in sports skyrockets when attached to stories that people can connect to. Whether that is a huge comeback story, rooting for your country in the Olympics, or an athlete trying to make history, eyeballs are drawn in multiples when attachment happens.
For the City of Cleveland, the story of brothers could be the next big thing.
The Cleveland Browns have the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, which
could put them in a position to select Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson. With some injury concerns, Tyson could slide down to where the Browns pick later in the first round as well. Heading to Cleveland would place Tyson in the same city as his Cleveland Cavaliers brother, Jaylon Tyson.
Football Tyson was obviously excited about the possibility of joining basketball Tyson if the Browns draft him. Jordyn talked about how his family, including his brother, trained him in competition:
Tyson believes that playing in the same city and living with his brother would push him to be his best:
Like everyone in Cleveland, Tyson would love to get to watch live as the Cavs compete for an NBA championship, especially with the home crowd:
The Arizona State star had over 1,800 yards and 18 touchdowns in his two seasons in the desert. Between a major knee injury in 2022, a collarbone injury limiting him in 2024, and a hamstring issue in 2025, the key at the NFL combine for Tyson will be his medical checks.
Tyson is interested in finding out if the Browns like what they see from him:
According to the younger Tyson, if both are playing in Cleveland, Jaylon will have to buy the house, but would get the big room:
While Jaylon is the big brother, Jordyn is likely to have the bigger rookie contract. With the Cavs, Jaylon’s rookie deal was for four years that would top out around $16 million. Jordyn would have to drop out of the first round to have a smaller contract and would more than double his brother’s deal if he is selected in the first seven picks of the 2026 NFL draft.
How do you feel about Tyson playing for the Browns? Do you think it would be helpful for him to play in the city as his brother?
