Brevin Jordan arrived at Miami as the second highest rated commit in a top 10 class nationally, the best Miami had signed in about a decade. Jordan will dip his toes into the NFL waters following three years at Miami and after recording over 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns on 105 catches during his time in college. Jordan arrived onto the scene at Miami with a game-winning touchdown vs Florida State his freshman year. He also finished his Miami career with possibly his best game as a college athlete, totaling 8 catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns while adding a 15-yard completion during UM’s bowl game vs. Oklahoma State in 2020. One knock on Jordan is his durability, as he has played in just 26 games over 3 years and never played in double-digit games in a single season.
Pre-Draft Measurables
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 247 pounds
Arms: 32 7/8”
Hands: 9 3/4”
Strengths
Versatility
Jordan lined up just about everywhere for Miami during his college career. From an in-line tight end, to a slot receiver, to an H-back, and even playing on the boundary at times, there is not much Jordan did not do over the past three years. Jordan also showed both high-level blocking ability and the ability to be a matchup issue in the passing game.
Playmaking
Jordan’s highlight tape includes him leaping over defenders, turning screen passes into big gains, and even taking the top off of a defense. We even saw Miami attempt to get him the ball on jet sweeps during his college career. Put simply, Jordan is a playmaker and a game-changer.
Weaknesses
Durability
As mentioned above, the biggest question mark on Jordan is the ability to stay healthy. Jordan missed games with injury each of the three seasons that he was at Miami. Teams are making a multi-year investment when they draft a player and whether the concerns are justified or not, they are in the minds of coaches and GM’s.
Undersized
Standing at 6’3’’, Jordan does not have the same size and stature of some of the top tight ends both in this draft class and currently in the league. Whoever drafts Jordan will need to have a more specific role carved out for him since he does not match the prototypical tight end in an NFL offense the way that others do.
Draft Projection: 4th Round
Jordan is a talented player and will be an asset to whichever team drafts him, but he will not be the first-round pick and guaranteed superstar that some predicted he would be coming out of high school. The injury concerns along with the fact that he does not fit the ideal mold of an NFL tight end will likely drop him into day three, but he won't be waiting long once Saturday rolls around.
