Story when the burn incident happened
follow up story
Jordan staggered outside, skin on his arms and legs burned to a crisp, hair singed, his body in shock.
He was airlifted to a hospital, third-degree burns covering 40 percent of his body...
Not only is Jordan 6-7, his arms are so long he can almost touch a basketball rim without leaving his feet. He looks too spindly to be a defensive end.
“Don’t let the skinniness fool you,” linebacker Michael Clay says. “He is a strong guy. It’s hard to get into him because he has a seven-foot wingspan. When he was a tight end, I remember one play, he put me down. That was the strongest punch ever.”
Even more than size, athleticism and strength, effort sets Jordan apart.
Aliotti isn’t sure he’s ever seen take him take a play off, even in practice There is no quality UO defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro prizes more.
“All that other stuff, you can teach,” Azzinaro says. “It’s hard to teach guys to play hard.”

The trend now is towards using lots of hybrid players in both systems. Look at Seattle...they have a few 3-4 type players they use in their 4-3.
Lots of hybrid Defenses too.
And we know that Spags would like some angular, quick guys at Defensive End.
Regardless, I think he will measure out and be picked earlier.

Sounds like the type of guy that will shread it at the combine and really improve his stock.

Using a vacuum cleaner to siphon gas wasn't very smart. Fuel(Gasoline Vapor) + Vacuum(Ignition source) + Oxygen = Fire.
