1976 Free Agent Profile: John Jordan

Defensive Tackle
8th Round
Indiana
"Here's a prospect from Indiana University via semi-pro football, the Memphis Southmen of the WFL, and the recommendation of Giants assistant coach Jay Fry. Jordan played at Indiana University for two years, then dropped out of school in 1974 and played that year with the semi-pro Indianapolis team. From that league, Jordan's next stop was with Memphis where he began the year as a swingman and part-time starter at defensive tackle. His rapid improvement there resulted in his winning a starting spot for the final six games of the season, and thus the lasting impression made on Coach Fry who believes that Jordan has unlimited potential.
Jordan was born in Indianapolis, is 23 years old and is married. He still makes Indianapolis his home."
