SAN FRANCISCO – Cameron Jordan took a forkful of fresh calamari and warm white beans, devouring it like a helpless Pac-10 quarterback being pummeled on an outside speed rush. The former Cal defensive end smiled broadly as he swallowed the exquisitely prepared appetizer at a bustling restaurant last Wednesday night. Appropriately, the calamari was grilled – a condition to which Jordan, a first-round prospect in the 2011 NFL draft, can relate.
Dining at Delfina with Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff, Jordan was experiencing pro football’s equivalent of an entry-level job interview, a process with which he has grown accustomed over the past several weeks. Though the Falcons, who hold the 27th overall selection, won’t likely be in position to select Jordan – Dimitroff has had similar meetings with numerous prospects since the NFL scouting combine in early March and is predictably coy about his plans – the 21-year-old couldn’t help but feel that he was on the spot.
