Excellent feel for finding space in coverage as a vertical threat. Will absorb big hits to make a catch. Explosive and physical with the ball in his hands. Quick to go into run-after-catch mode. No-nonsense runner. Able to easily break or bounce off tackles. Quality ability and willingness as a run blocker. Works to drive when engaged. Keeps a square base as a pass blocker.

 

Weaknesses

Some concern about hand-eye coordination and focus on contested catches. Average agility. Lacks twitchiness/suddenness as a route runner. Routes can be too rounded off. Simple route tree in general. Limited above-the-rim athleticism. Needs to be more controlled/consistent as a blocker. Hand placement is too inconsistent. Can fail trying to square up his target in space.

Conclusion

Overall, Jordan is a smooth, strong, and versatile tight end that can threaten the defense vertically and provides physicality with the ball in his hands. He should thrive in a play-action heavy attack, particularly if he can improve his run blocking.
