Summary

Brevin Jordan was selected in the 5th Round (#147 Overall) in the 2021 Draft out of University of Miami. Jordan is a tight end with strong receiving upside. He brings good athleticism, route-running ability, and YAC (yards after catch) potential. While not built like a traditional in-line blocking monster, his skill set makes him a mismatch threat in the passing game. His NFL journey has been somewhat stalled by injuries and role usage, but the talent is there for him to carve out a meaningful role—especially as a receiving-heavy TE or H-back-type. The key question is whether he can improve his blocking, durability, and consistency to become a full-time starter.

Strengths

• Route-running & separation ability: Jordan is noted for his smooth route running for a tight end, quick out of his breaks, good body control and ability to create separation.

• Receiving skills & YAC potential: He has reliable hands, the ability to adjust to off-target throws, and shows playmaking ability once he gets the ball in his hands as indicated by his strong yards-after-catch numbers. State of The U

• Athleticism & mismatch potential: At 6′3″ and ~245 lbs with good speed for the position, he can line up as a traditional tight end, split-out, or even in motion, creating mismatches against linebackers or slower defenders. NFL Draft Buzz

• Versatility in alignment and receiving role: He is effective lining up inline or split out, and his receiving skills allow him to be used in more “pass-catcher” than pure blocker roles.

Weaknesses

• Blocking and in-line physical capacity: One frequently cited weakness is his relative lack of size/strength for an every-down blocking tight end—he can struggle to sustain blocks at the point of attack. Bleacher Report

• Frame/length for contested catches & traditional TE roles: While he is athletic, he may lack the elite blocking size or catch-point dominance of top tier in-line tight ends. His catch radius and contested catch ability may be slightly less than ideal. NFL Draft Buzz

• Durability / missed games & injury history: Jordan missed games in college due to injury and some have raised concerns about how he holds up with increased workload. This has only continued throughout the course of his NFL career. State of The U

• Transition to full TE role in NFL & consistency of usage: Because of his profile, he has sometimes been used more as a “H-back / receiving tight end” rather than a full featured every-down TE (which includes heavy blocking). This may cap his ceiling unless he improves in those areas. Bleacher Report

Fit & Outlook

Jordan projects best as a receiving-tight end or H-back in offenses that value motion, play-action, and mismatches in the passing game rather than heavy inline blocking. A system that gets him touches, uses him out of the slot or split tight end, and allows him to run routes will maximize his skills. In the NFL, he offers strong value as a TE2 or rotation player with upside to become a TE1 if his blocking improves and he earns more targets. Given his athletic traits, he could become a high-end complementary piece. Despite his early career being hampered by injuries, Jordan still can develop into starting tight end who is a dependable receiving weapon (e.g., 50–70 receptions, 600+ yards, several TDs) and creates mismatches in the intermediate/deep passing game. More likely, however, Jordan is a situational or two-tight-end set specialist who contributes in the passing game but is limited on early downs or in heavy run-blocking roles.
