With the 147th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans selected tight end Brevin Jordan from the University of Miami.
Jordan was the third Hurricane to be selected in the second day of the draft on Saturday, sustaining the school’s campaign as “Tight End U,” having finished with a comparable collegiate career to those of former Miami tight ends in David Njoku and Chris Herndon.
The former junior tight end earned All-ACC second-team honors and was named a semifinalist for the John Mackey Award after recording 38 receptions for a total of 578 receiving yards to rank second on the team.

33. Jacksonville Jaguars – CB Tyson Campbell, Georgia
Not a ton of production in terms of turning the ball over for the Bulldogs, but you can t teach sub-4.4 speed or a willingness to tackle. Gives the Jags a nice nickel package with CJ Henderson and newly signed Shaquill Griffin.
34. New York Jets – WR Elijah Moore, Mississippi
The NYJ continue investing in assets to surround new QB Zach Wilson. After bolstering the O-line in Round 1 with OL Alijah Vera-Tucker, GM Joe Douglas gets the explosive receiver from Ole Miss. Moore can operate from the slot, take jet sweeps and turn a hitch into a score. He finished with 86 grabs for 1,193 yards and eight scores in eight games last year. This pick could cast doubt on the future of current slot receiver Jamison Crowder.
