When he's on the field, Jordan is a threatening pass rusher, generating four sacks in five games in 2017. His reliability is questionable, though, as Jordan didn't play in either the 2015 or 2016 seasons after a slew of injuries and suspensions. He'll split time with Frank Clark this season, which may put a cap on his IDP value.
Jordan was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violating the substance abuse policy. He has been reinstated but then was promptly put on the NFI due to a knee injury. It's really anyone's guess at this time as to whether or not he will be able to contribute to the Dolphins or any other NFL team this season. The Dolphins are loaded on the defensive line and in the end may decide that Jordan just isn't worth the trouble he has caused.
Remember when Jordan was the third overall pick and big things were expected from him playing opposite Cameron Wake? Yeah well that never materialized and now he is suspended for the first four games of the season due to a diluted drug test sample. Jordan has been one of the biggest busts of the past five seasons as even when he was on the field he only had three sacks and 46 tackles and this is on what has generally been a pretty good defense.
Jordan was supposed to provide the Dolphins with a strong pass rush opposite Cameron Wake but that failed to materialize as Jordan only produced two sacks and 26 tackles. Jordan has beefed up during the off-season, something he wasn't able to do last year due to having to undergo shoulder surgery, but the start to his 2014 season will be delayed by a four-game suspension. If Jordan can become the player the Dolphins thought he could when he was drafted, double digit sacks may not be out of the question with teams spending most of their energy trying to figure out how to stop Wake, but that notion's on hold to start the 2014 season.
Keep a very close eye on Jordan's position designation in your league, because at press time it was up for interpretation, though the Miami Dolphins official web site listed him as a defensive end. It's a questionable fit, though, because Jordan was arguably at his best as a standup player in college, and he posted just five sacks as a senior. He's a rangy, long player with great pursuit ability, but Jordan looks more like Julian Peterson than DeMarcus Ware. That said, if the Dolphins use him at defensive end, he should thrive anyway, particularly as an IDP. His pass-rush impact could be limited, but Jordan's length and athleticism should allow him to pile up tackles in pursuit, and it's still reasonable to bet he'll play at linebacker a fair amount either way.
