Jordan is a tall collegiate linebacker who I think lines up at defensive in the pros. He can get pressure on the quarterback, but lacks more than a speed rush at this point. He changes directions well (for a 6'7 linebacker), but I think his best position is to add bulk and play defensive end. He'll need to learn to play from a three point stance and to get lower and better position against the run. Jordan has a very high ceiling, but on actual ability right now, he's more of a second round pick.

Jordan's size (6'7") is a blessing and a curse. He is light on his feet, but has very long legs which arent that useful when it comes to leverage. The positive of that tall fram is that Jordan has very long arms. He keeps blockers off of hm easily, he is frequently aggressive wth his arms/hands. He can stand to gain 10 pounds or so and add some lower body strength, but will be able to get by early on his natural freakish ability.

Tony Pauline reports Oregon DE/LB Dion Jordan will have surgery to repair a torn labrum.
