Scouting report

Against every defensive back
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked defensive backs he sits, on average, in the 36th percentile for volume, 76th for efficiency and 67th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 7 games, Andre Jordan Jr.'s best came in week 2 against Southern Miss and his quietest in week 3 against Florida.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
