Brevin Jordan is a quick tight end from the University of Miami. He’s not the biggest guy in the world but he’s very technically sound and shows a lot of effort in all parts of his game and he’ll be a great player for a tight end needy team at the next level.

Strengths: 

  • Pretty Quick

For a tight end Brevin Jordan is very quick. He’s quick out of his routes and right off of the snap. He didn’t test as well as he looked on the field which may be concerning for his character but he still tested well and he’s even quicker on the field. 

  • Good Route Runner

Brevin Jordan is a quality route runner who varies his release, gives good full body fakes and is also sudden out of his breaks which allows him to gain separation.

  • Makes Catches in Traffic

Brevin Jordan does a great job making catches through traffic and especially holding onto the ball even when there’s contact. 

  • Great After the Catch

Brevin Jordan is amazing after the catch because he has adequate quickness to juke defenders as well as a tenacity when running with the football to break tackles.

Weaknesses: 

  • Doesn’t Win Jump Balls

Brevin Jordan is a smaller guy at just 6’3 which is a bit small for the tight end position, and he’s not a typical guy who wins 50 50 balls and comes down with any ball thrown his way.

  • Ball Skills Need Work

Jordan has decent hands and doesn’t have easy drops often but his ball skills need work because he’s not consistently catching away from frame and he will body catch way too often.

  • Technique as a Blocker Needs Work

Brevin Jordan shows willingness to help in the blocking game but his technique with his hand placement needs work and he’s also not the strongest guy.

Player Comp: Former Rams tight end and now Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett is a good representation for the play style, athletic profile, and quality of player that Brevin Jordan will be at the next level. Both guys are a bit undersized who are extremely quick and great route runners. They can make catches in traffic and are great after the catch and running in the seams. They don’t typically win jump balls and they need work with their blocking technique. Everett might have better hands so they’re not exactly the same but I do expect Jordan to be just as good of a player.

Final Thoughts: Brevin Jordan is a guy that I seem to be generally close to consensus on and that’s in the middle of Round 2. He’s not really elite at any one thing but he plays quick with good route running which allows him to win. He’ll be a solid addition to most teams but especially ones who ask their receivers to get yards after the catch. I think the Jaguars are a good team fit because he’ll provide Lawrence with a reliable target, and Meyer likes guys who can get yards after the catch. Jacksonville has also been missing a good tight end for a while.
