"I hurt myself the middle of our season, Colorado game, and it was just an unfortunate event," Jordan said. "I went and made a tackle the wrong way. They say you shouldn't arm tackle and I got the worst of it. But you know, I've dealt with it, I only missed one game last season, I dealt with it, and I feel like it shows my toughness, that I finished the season."
Jordan likely solidified his first-round NFL Draft status with an impressive performance in Indianapolis. Measuring in at 6'6, 248 pounds, Jordan ran a 4.60-second 40-yard dash and showed off his elite explosiveness with a 10'2 broad jump. Currently, he is projected to go No. 6 overall to the Cleveland Browns in SB Nation's latest mock draft.
