PLAYERS
Biography: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors since his sophomore season and named to numerous all-American teams last
year. Senior totals included 62/12.5/5.5 after he had 48/9.5/6 as a junior. Sophomore totals of totals included 47/11/4. Played
end and tackle in both four-man and three-man lines for Cal.
Positives: "Versatile and athletic defensive lineman with a great amount of upside. Plays with terrific pad level, gets leverage on opponents, and is strong at the point. Fires off the snap with a terrific first step, keeps driving up the field, and rarely off his feet. Shows great explosiveness, immediately alters his angle of attack, and works his hands throughout the action. Easily moves in every direction and is very athletic. Knifes through blocks on the inside and displays an array of moves getting around opponents." Negatives: Possesses solid edge speed but does not have an elite burst. Out-positioned by blockers on occasion. Analysis: Jordan has been omnipresent in the Cal defense since his sophomore season and enters the draft as one of the top senior prospects available. He could play a variety of defensive line positions in a number of schemes. Jordan is NFL ready as a three-down defender who should quickly break into a starting lineup at the next level.
