Biggest NFL Draft busts in Oregon football history

Dion Jordan
Dion Jordan caught the injury bug early in his NFL career. Experiencing seven knee strains between 2016 to 2018, as well as a torn shoulder in 2013, Jordan’s time in the league wasn’t what Duck fans expected.
Drafted 3rd overall by the Miami Dolphins, the defensive end was a monster in Eugene. With 29 tackles for loss including 14.5 sacks in just three years, Jordan was feared by Pac-12 opponents.
He also chipped in four successful 2-point attempts for the Ducks to tack on eight offensive points to his resume.
Jordan was named First-Team All-Pac-12 his senior year and showed off his athleticism at the NFL Combine. At 6-foot-6 and 248 pounds, Jordan ran the 40-yard dash in an astonishing 4.6 seconds.
In 2020, Jordan couldn’t even pass his physical and the Dolphins let him go.
