Professional career

Pre-draft

On January 29, 2011, Jordan played in the 2011 Senior Bowl and was part of Marvin Lewis's North team that lost 24–10 to the South.

Jordan attended the NFL Scouting Combine and performed all of the combine and positional drills. Шаблон:Quote box On March 9, 2011, he participated at California's pro day, but opted to stand on his combine numbers and only performed defensive end drills.
