Brevin Jordan

On talent alone, Jordan has an argument to be considered the nation's top tight end, and is a likely high NFL draft pick a year from now. But that talent has only flashed occasionaly in two seasons in Coral Gables. Injuries have been partly to blame, as Jordan has missed four games in each of his first two seasons. Irratic quarterback play has also been a factor, as Miami has seen four quarterbacks throw 150+ passes in Jordan's career. When featured, Jordan puts up elite production at college football's thinnest position, posting four games last year with at least five catches, three times topping 70 yards. But he too often has disappeared, and has not caught more than 35 balls in either season, and has six total touchdowns. Injuries can be fluky, as can touchdowns. Quarterback play should be vastly improved with D'Eriq King transfering in. How Jordan will be used in Miami's new spread offense remains to be seen, but his athletic ability in the slot if matched up with linebackers should be a huge plus. Drafting Jordan on name recognition has disappointed so far. Taking him a round or two earlier than his production has dictated could pay off handsomely this season however.
