Offensive Tackle
6th Round
Memphis State
"At the start of the fourth round of the draft, the Giants were looking for an offensive tackle and were undecided between Oklahoma's Mike Vaughan and Memphis State's Bob Jordan ... and eventually opted for Vaughan. When Jordan was still available in the sixth round, John McVay and his staff were quick to select the big and rugged pass-blocker who had been personally scouted by offensive line coach Jay Fry.
A three-year starter at Memphis State, Jordan received solid ratings from the scouting combines for his agility- the quick feet and 'skating' ability often mentioned when offensive tackle prospects are discussed. He also demonstrated fine leadership qualities throughout his career in college.
Bob lettered in both football and track at Antioch High School in his hometown of Antioch, Tennessee and won a state championship in the discus throw."
