Cameron Jordan
6'4, 282 pounds | Defensive end | California
Pass rush: Where Jordan is ahead of many college ends is that he has an array of pass rush moves. His best is a power move where he slaps with his lead hand and pulls his other arm over to get past the blocker. Also employs a nice spin and a rip move. Don't let his size fool you, Jordan isn't just a power rusher. Lines up over the right tackle most of the time. Can be a little slow on stunts. Will have some trouble against the quickest tackles who can simply mirror him.
Pursuit: Shows good quickness off the snap. Good timing. Fairly strong in pursuit. Jordan doesn't move laterally as well as other ends, or even as well as Cameron Heyward. Can be a little stiff in the hips on his movement. Gives a good effort, but maybe not a hair-on-fire kind of player that will work all over the line.
Final word: Jordan has proved as a senior that his game isn't predicated on playing next to Tyson Alualu. Still, he's not the top five talent some have been purporting. What he is, though, is a very good power end with the ability to play in the 3-4. With so many teams playing a 3-4 scheme, he should hear his name called in the first round.
