STRENGTHS
Jordan is a Patrick Mahomes/Doug Flutie clone. He has excellent arm strength to make all the throws with velocity and touch. He has a very high football IQ and his decision-making on the field is without question. Jordan has that “Flute-like Feel” for the game that can extend plays with his feet or passing the ball on the move when it’s necessary. He has a quick release and can throw the ball from different release points with the accuracy needed to make a pass other QB’s can’t seem to make. Jordan has the cat-like quickness to manipulate the pocket, the footspeed to outrun many linebackers and safeties, and the passing intelligence to compete and win against any play-calling Defensive Coordinator. He is my sleeper QB pick for this draft.
CONCERNS
Jordan got injured this year but before that injury, he showed me his potential as a Pat Mahomes/Doug Flutie clone. Before FSU Jordan was not allowed to get on the field for one reason or another so there is not enough stats or game time to truly evaluate him for the scouts. He is also a little small and that concerns teams too.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.47
So, no Stats, playing time, and a little small… along with a season-ending injury and you must be saying to yourself, Drew are you an idiot”? Well, I might be an idiot but I recognize the obvious when I see the obvious, and the first time I saw Jordan it took me about 5 plays to see the obvious. I saw the arm talent, athletic quickness and speed, and the High Football IQ and believe me if Jordan hadn’t been injured he would have been considered as a possible top-ten QB in this draft. The truth is, even if he works out, I suspect he will not be selected in the first three rounds of this draft. Nevertheless, I see a potential starting quarterback and a possible franchise quarterback but I’m not going to lose my job if I’m wrong. Those who will lose their jobs if they are wrong, have to be more conservative in their analyses of Jordan, and I understand that totally. Even if Jordan had played for the whole season and continued to put up the numbers and wins he was putting up, before his injury, I’m sure there would be doubters, because of his size and only one year of playing stats. So, look at Rob’s board for the round Jordan most likely will be selected in but trust me…Jordan has 1st round talent and Patrick Mahomes/Doug Flutie-type potential. That to me is very obvious when you look at his film.
