OLB Dion Jordan, Oregon Scouting Report

Measurables:

Height: 6’6”

Weight: 249

Arm Length: 33 7/8”

Hand: 10”

40 Time: 4.6

Pros:

• Top notch pass rusher who is capable of getting lots of penetration off the edge
• Explosive first step
• Long, athletic rusher with a great frame
• Really good tackler, with nice pursuit angles
• A true athletic freak, would routinely cover tight ends and even wide receivers in college
• Displays good counter moves to disengage from blockers

Cons:

• Not the strongest player, may be more easily blocked by NFL caliber linemen/tight ends
• Needs to work on his consistency
• Will really need the right system to succeed

Overall:

Jordan is one of the more impressive prospects in this draft. He doesn’t have too many major concerns, and has elite upside. He’s incredibly athletically gifted and is a going to cause a match-up nightmare for a number of opposing offenses. He does need to be used in a certain way, and is really a better fit as a stand-up rusher in a 3-4, which should allow him to have more additional freedom to wreck havoc on opposing offenses.
