#Miami TE Brevin Jordan has met with several NFL teams via Zoom, but he lists the following as the teams he has consistently heard from: #Packers, #Patriots, #49ers, #Seahawks & #Chiefs.
There's a TON of interest in him, & it's easy to see why once you turn the tape on #NFLDraft

The Green Bay Packers are showing notable pre-draft interest in one of the best receiving tight ends in the 2021 NFL draft.
According to Justin Melo of The Draft Network, the Packers are one of several teams that have been in consistent communication with Miami tight end Brevin Jordan, a three-time All-ACC selection and a two-time semi-finalist for the Mackey Award.
The Packers, who drafted tight ends Jace Sternberger and Josiah Deguara in the third round of the last two drafts, could see Jordan as another athletic, versatile tight end who could be a mismatch-type weapon in the passing game.
Over three seasons at Miami, Jordan caught 105 passes for 1,358 yards and 13 touchdowns. He set career-highs with 38 catches for 576 yards and seven touchdowns in 2020.
The Draft Network considers Jordan to be a “dynamic weapon” and “dangerous” receiver that played “all over the formation” at Miami and is a “competitive blocker,” giving him the ideal profile of the “F tight end” that Matt LaFleur likes to use so often in his offense.
Jordan was an all-conference pick during all three of his seasons at Miami. He was a semifinalist for the Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end, during each of his final two seasons, including 2020.
The Packers are deep at tight end, but Robert Tonyan is a restricted free agent and could be in danger of leaving if a team is willing to part with a draft pick to sign him, based on the tender he eventually receives from the Packers.
