Jordan is a really valuable pass catcher. His size and speed allow him to dominate defenders in the secondary. He's physical, has a great catch radius, and impressive open field speed he can use to outrun entire defenses.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>On top of that, Jordan can create some huge blocks in the run game to help his teammates. He's great at using his leverage and power, consistently opening up wide lanes for his teammates to capitalize on. Overall, he's a talented TE who's going to pick up a ton of attention soon- we're calling it now."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan had a really impressive junior season last fall and put together some great tape in the process. Be sure to take a look for yourself. I think he has a huge senior season ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18189769/693474deea0d31db03932b14' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a1c6ca5a725"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140667"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a1c6ca5a7ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2140667' first='Brayden' last='Jones'] is a 2029 OL from Saraland we all need to have our eyes on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"It's insane to think Jones is only a freshman.
