NFL Draft: Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson get drafted on Day 3

A few familiar names came off draft boards on Saturday afternoon during Day 3 of the NFL Draft, as Ohio State’s Michael Jordan and Miami’s Michael Jackson were taken in the fourth and fifth round, respectively.

The Cincinnati Bengals traded up to select Jordan, an offensive lineman who played as a guard and a center for the Buckeyes, with the 136th overall pick.

The 6-foot-6, 312-pound lineman started every game as a true freshman at Ohio State, so he brings three seasons of experience to Cincinnati.

In the fifth round, the Dallas Cowboys selected Miami cornerback Michael Jackson.

Jackson ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, and has solid size at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds. Prepare for plenty of name jokes if you’re a Bengals or Cowboys fan.
