Jordyn Tyson revealed: former roommate Derek Eusebio dishes on Saints' first-rounder

The second receiver off the board after Carnell Tate, Tyson arrives in New Orleans, tipped to become a star alongside Chris Olave, catching passes from ascending second-year quarterback Tyler Shough.

Saints fans will spend the summer watching camp highlights and listening to coaches' interviews to work out what kind of player they're getting, but Derek Eusebio already knows.

As Tyson's roommate at Arizona State, he got to watch him up close, every day, long before his former teammate heard his name called on draft night.

Speaking exclusively to DAZN, courtesy of the Union Jack Classic, here's what Eusebio had to say.

What life with Jordyn Tyson was really like

"It was great living with him. He's a crazy roommate, but it was definitely fun to be with him for that part of my life," Eusebio began.

Eusebio didn't sugarcoat the chaos of rooming with Tyson. "He's a mess, his clothes got everywhere," he said, laughing.

But peel back the disorder of a shared apartment and what emerges is a portrait of two receivers pushing each other toward something bigger.

"He's a good guy. We worked so hard when we lived together. We were at the jugs machine every day," Eusebio said.

"He was a great person to live with. He pushed me, I pushed him, it was ultimately great to live with him, just to see how he moved and how he went about his process."

The feeling is mutual.

Tyson's older brother Jaylon, a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Having that kind of blueprint in the family doesn't hurt, and Eusebio got a front-row seat to how Jordyn absorbed those lessons, describing how he was fortunate "to learn from two pro guys."

Perhaps the one area Eusebio thinks his former roommate might struggle in New Orleans has nothing to do with routes or releases.

"He doesn't like spicy food, so I'm interested to see what he does with all that crawfish!"

Tyson could be an instant hit at the Superdome. Adjusting to life in one of America's spiciest food cities might take a little longer.

Eusebio's own story at Arizona State

While Tyson takes his first steps in the NFL, Eusebio is writing his own chapter at ASU.

He was a walk-on who earned a scholarship and, last season, enjoyed a breakout campaign.

With Tyson now gone, Eusebio is tipped to take an even bigger leap within a Sun Devils offense searching for its next star receiver.

Stay tuned for more from Eusebio on his 2026 outlook, what he expects from defending Big 12 champion Arizona State, and his thoughts on heading to Wembley in September for the Union Jack Classic.
